I have a self-xref in my drawing. I've set the self-xref line type to dashed.

On a separate layer I will draw a solid line over portions of the dashed self-xref. Graphically, the dashed self-xref is still viewed in conjunction with the solid line.

I would like the self-xref dashed lines to be behind (or not viewable) when the solid lines I draw over it for clarity sake.

I recall a setting for a self-xref to be in front of, or behind, drawn layers. Can someone refresh my memory how to do this? I don't think it's a Z-plane setting...

I believe you need to have the self xref (or multiple self xrefs) on their own layer, and have that layer positioned at the top of the layer list. If I recall, the higher the layer, the earlier it gets printed - similar to how you should have your poche/shaded layers near the top so your solid linework plots over them. I may have it a little backwards or simplistic, but this is how I have things set up to plot correctly for me.

No luck with that method, thank you though... Anyone else have an idea?

Might also depend on the pen color of the xref. If you want it printed first, have as the lowest color of Pen 1. or
Check layer Order under display. or
Make sure the solid line layer is the active layer of the GTV.

Go to Display, Layer Order and make sure "In Order" is selected.

Thanks Jeffrey! Alan, you were initially correct, but Jeffrey got the final puzzle piece to make it all work! Thank you all!

Glad we could help!
