Print trace reference above zones

Anonymous

Hi,

how can I get my traced reference printed above my zones? The trace reference is set to be "displayed on top" and looks good on layout but when I print it automatically is hidden underneath the zones.

I would probably place both the View and its Trace Reference aligned on the same Layout and play around with the Pen Set for the Trace Reference to achieve the desired color.
Then I think you can set their display order to the Drawing of the Trace Reference is above the other Drawing on your Layout.

okay so what I did was to create a view map from the worksheet that I have placed my external drawing on (the one I want to trace) which I have added to the layout and changed the display order. This works fine.

Is this what you meant or is there another way to do it without creating a view map of the drawing you want to trace?

Thanks!

Yes, so there are two Drawings on the Layout: the View and the Trace Reference.
