Viewport Transparency

[Anonymous]

How is layout viewport transparency controlled? The illustration under the Help topic "About Layout Viewports" shows two overlapping viewports that are mutually transparent. That's exactly what I want. BUT, in my system, overlapping layout viewports are mutually opaque by default and I cannot figure out how to change that, AND all the discussions I am able to Google up are complaints that overlapping layout viewports are transparent and everyone is trying to figure out how to make them opaque, with WIPEOUTs or whatever ... very frustrating!

How do I get transparent overlapping layout viewports?  I am using Civil 3D 2014.

Many thanks for any help you can provide.

This solution doesn't work anymore. (AutoCAD 2019)

Created a new visual style,

turned background off,

applied to all viewports,

but when I plot DWG to PDF the background is still there.

Same issue as Marco. Backgrounds is off, but VP backgrounds are still displaying opaque.

I had the same issue with paper space txt and dimensions being behind an opaque view port. It was fine last week but this week the viewport changed and nothing i did fixed it. So i just created a new viewport and that worked. Very annoying problem.

Any solution for this yet?
I need to overlap 2 viewports to see part of the structure in wireframe and the main part of the drawings in shaded but I am having the opaque background as described above.
PS. the shaded visual style background is 'off'.

Any new method to solve this will be helpful.

Hey!

Sorry to bring this thread back, but I found an interesting solution that doesn't need any changes to the viewport.

What I did to work this thing around was draw a rectangle around everything I drew - in the model tab, of course - and use a solid hatch on it. Then, I use the "hatchtoback" command to make it stay behind the drawing. Now, since there is a solid color behind everything, it will also show in the viewport, covering everything behind it.

As you can see in the images, the larger circle is a viewport that is displaying the same thing as what is behind it, but the lines do not overlap because of the hatch.

I hope it can be useful to someone.
