DWG Underlay issue

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!

Hi

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