hidden lines not working properly when I use the ortho cube cutting method

Hi,

I cut a couple Ortho views - one plan view and the other an elevation view of the same area.  I did the Plant 3D ortho cube and everything was going along great until I tried to plot it.  I made sure the viewport was "hidden" but it doesn't come out hidden.  I tried every other "hidden" type in there as well, like the legacy hidden and the 3d hidden.  Nothing works.  So, I went ahead and xref'd in a piping model and cut a view in the old traditional way and it plotted just fine.  Please help.  I would like to use the ortho cube.  It's a great tool, but if I can't plot with it then why use it?

 

Thanks

When you created the view (in the orthocube mode) did you change the view to hidden on the tool ribbon pulldown menu?

Thank you. I was following a video to learn how to do this and of course it didn't cover that part.
