ZONE CONTOUR LINE GRAPHIC OVERRIDE COMBINATIONS

Hi Folks!

I was trying to deactivate the contour line of Zones in Graphic Override Combinations (see attached), but the contour line still appear. Obviously I can deactivate the contour line in Zone Selection Settings but the idea is set a combination to use different views (with and without contourne line).

Thanks for your help.

Graphic Overrides can not turn the line off.
They can only override the line type to something different (a wide spaced dot maybe) or change the colour to white so it will not print.

Change the color of line through the Graphic Overrides is a good idea, Thank you Barry.

Another common trick is an "invisible" linetype, which has a dot and the distance to the next one is set to the highest value possible. It will still give you a very fine dot in each corner however. Combined with the white pen it should be very convincing (:
