I've done a searched and found a posting about linking pen sets to views dated 2006...but sound rather confusing. Anyways, to illustrate my problem, I'm attaching a screen shot of the model view which I would like to have it in the final layout. And another screen shot of the layout view which doesn't seem to give the pale light grey of the overlay [xref]-thus the plan looks messy!
