Object ID Labels set to opaque, show transparent on layout

Anonymous
Not applicable
My object ID labels that are set to be opaque(window background or pen 91) show properly in model view, but display transparent in layout. (Object ID labels are handy for Keying an object shown on elevation to the schedule.)

Text labels function properly, as do regular fills.

In PM 9, I had my fills set to be transparent in display options accidently. Is there a similar layout display options dialogue that i haven't found yet for 10?

WYSIWYG is not being met, leading to frustration.

I'd rather not have to reprogram the ID label.

Thanks.

Check the "Model View Options" settings for the view(s) that provide the drawings on the layouts. They are presumably set differently than your current working setting.

ML,

You mean "MVO" under Document Menu, compared to the MVO under Drawing settings in the layout? They are the same, set to elevations, which have Fill backgrounds set to object settings.

Note the label " BA-202" has a line through it in layout, it covers the line in model view. The white fill functions in both views.

I mean the MVO as set in the View Settings dialog for the view(s) placed in the layouts. See attached.

There may be something else going on here since it is strange for a fill to cover while the library part does not. Perhaps it is an issue with the way the part is scripted. I haven't had any trouble like this myself (at least not yet).
