transparency of xrefs
« on: September 13, 2005, 07:27:23 PM »
Hey guys,

Just wondering if there is an option that can be selected to make shading & lines in xrefs transparent?

ie. so when i forget to send them to the back they dont hide my drawing when i print!   :lol:

Thanks in advance

In your pc3 file that you have setup for plotting make sure that lines merge is checked. It defaults to overwrite.

It's under Graphics>Merge Control>Lines Merge

If your plotter driver has an option for "merge control" try making a PC3 file with it set to merge rather than overwrite
