DWG Underlay issue

alex_xuCAU9F — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 23:36:49 GMT

Hi,

I am having issue with DWG underlay.

In the model, the dwg underlay is hidden under the solid but in the drawing view you can see all the dwg underlay.

Is there a way to hide the lines behind the solid?

Thank you.

Hi, if you set the view to 'Shaded' this would colour in the 3D and hide the underlay. However I think the entire underlay might also disappear in Shaded view?

Other than that I think you would have to create a hatch pattern for the 3D in order to hide it.

Hi! Unfortunately, it is a limitation in the drawing environment when displaying a DWG underlay. I am not aware of a solution to fix it yet.

Many thanks!

This might be something for future builds? The underlay is great, but not following the rules of the drawing view is very frustrating.
