Match line Mask issue

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have view frame and sheets created along the alignment, about 15 sheets, I opened my drawing it was showing as attached, the line work behind the match line is showing, tried to edit styles " display" it looks its ON, but not able to see the Mask, checked all the corresponding layers was not able to find the root of this issue.

wondering someone of you might have faced the same issue could share how this can be fixed.

Even tried deleted all the VF and re-create the sheets but still line work was visible behind the match line.

Thanks in advance.

The mask is there; behind the individual match line labels you see no linework. Where you see lines is in the space between those labels. Expand the Border-> Gap for the left and right Match Line Label Styles.

Are you talking about hiding everything behind the match line for a particular sheet? If so, then you're talking about the match line style hatch that acts like a mask. Make sure that you have the "Match line mask" turned on the Match Line Style dialog box, that the mask is a color that will plot white, and that the layer is turned on/thawed.

Thanks so much for responding.

I was able to hover over the match line's line and it highlighted the mask, changed the display order then I was fine.

Thanks.

Thanks for sharing the idea.

Match line layer was ON, but I was not able to see the mask as it had solid white color, even tried to change the color still was not able to see the mask as it was behind the line-work.

hovered over the match line and mask highlighted, then changed its display order.

Appreciate your time.

Thanks

I had this come up last week. It happened after I slid the matchlines to a new station. Display order worked for me, too, except i grabbed the un-disappeared linework and sent it to the back.

Is there a way to make the match line hatch transparent? I like it not to completely block what's underneath it, in the sheet. I tried to put transparency to the layer the match line mask is on, but it doesn't show on the sheets. Thanks in advance!

Could be a couple of things. Is your layout's page setup set to plot transparency? Also check your plot style of the layer that the mask is set to use.

Something to add to this topic.

Why can I only use solid for my matchline mask. It works perfectly fine with solid fill, but the second I switch it to any of the "predefined" patterns it disappears completely, regardless of transparency.
