Family: Front referance plane lines showing up in back view

[adam.bald]

My problem: I am working on a family for a piece of equipment and developing elevation views. The symbolic lines for the front elevation (drawn on the front reference plan, the work plan is set to front) are showing up on the back elevation (I have also drawn a back reference plan and the work plan is set to the back reference plan for the back elevation). Why are these showing up and how do I turn them off so they are not?

Attached is the file.

This is "specialty equipment" family.

Thanks

Why do you have symbolic lines at all for modeled geometry? I would clean them out. 

(PS - we all LOVE Specialty Equipment families!)

My company has a policy to not show any modeled elements in elevation view. They are all covered with masking regions and symbolic lines. This allows for a less detailed elevation views. Regardless, still doesn't answer the question of why the lines on the front reference plane show up in the back view.

The workplane determines location, only, not visibility. You would need to manage visibility with subcategories.

They show up because Symbolic lines will show up in any view - front, back, or middle - that is parallel to the plane in which they were drawn. 

Create subcategories, place the lines on the subcategories, and control the visibility.

There are exceptions to everything, look at any building codes.  That policy works for most cases but when it does not, improvise to make it work. 

Either use the 3d elements to present the equipment elevation (they are quite clean as far as I can see), or use a combination of simplified extrusion and model lines drawn on faces it.

Where you able to find a solution?
