mleader behind hatch only on xref files

leticia.campanelli — Wed, 27 Mar 2024 12:36:00 GMT

hi there,

I have a drawing with hatching and mleaders, simple drawing nothing special about it - but when I xref the drawing the mleaders are behind the hatch.

original

the base/original file is correct with mleader in front of the hatch.

Xref

I have sent the hatch to back, mleaders to front, draworderCTL is set to 3.

any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks

Does a REGEN or REGENALL fix the display issue by chance?

Did you use HATCHTOBACK command in that file by chance?

yes, I have...it works fine in the original file.

it is something to do with the xref.

Check the mleader colour in the attached drawing's xref layer properties. It's seems like hatch and mleader colour both are same in the second snip(xref attached drawing). Once done try REGEN.

If the mleaders and hatching are in different drawings, the xref with the mleaders will need to be brought to the front.

@leticia.campanelli check the below image for an example. In the same way, check your xref layer properties in the attached drawing. hatch and mleader both are in grey. Change the mleader colour to other in the attached drawing's xref layer properties.
