Hatch Transparency not affected in ViewPort Transparancy (Layer Properties)

I've been having issues with Viewport Transparency not working when trying to edit in the layer properties tool. It seems to work and change the transparency of everything but hatched areas. I have tried all the solutions and looked everywhere for help. I don't know what else to try. All I want to do is lighten certain aspects in the layout (viewport) but its not working!

 

Solutions I've tried:

TRANSPARENCYDISPLAY: Set to 1 currently, tried changing to 0 and back to 1 with no luck.

Plot Transparency is ticked in Page Setup Manager

 

See images below. You can see that it changes the transparency for the linework just not hatching and I think this does this for an general hatching changes in the layout properties tool VP or not.

 

TIA

Two things you can try:

 

Make sure the tranparency setting in the Properties Palette is not over riding the transparcy setting in the Layer Properties Manager (similar to how a color 'over ride' in the Properites Palette will over ride the color established in the Layer Prop Mgr).

 

Perform an experiment by putting some colored objects partly underneath the hatch you are questioning and partly exposed. If transparency is not working, then the objects partly underneath will be hidden while the parts exposed will remain viewable.

 

You can also turn on Bing Aerial imagery to test your hatch transparency. If transparency is working, then the hatch will be see-through. If it isn't, then it will hide what's underneath.

@Anonymous  did you ever find a resolution to this. I am having the same issue in Civil 3D 2023.
