The ko layer - when I make a symbol, I should have the outline as the last layer? Or are you saying that the symbols with the ko settings are the last layer? Please explain - I am a little confused...
For Symbols, my first layer is labled KO and that is where I put the Polyline with the knockout turned on. Then the symbol will show properly.

ko's only knockout items that are drawn before them.
So within a symbol, having the KO layer first, it will not knockout any of the symbol, but only items on the layer that are drawn before the symbol is placed, and layers that are in the list before the layer it is placed on.

If you add the following key to the [KnockOuts] section (you may have to create the section) of the INI file:
Draw First In Symbols=TRUE
Knockouts in a Symbol will always be drawn first (no matter which layer they reside on) within the local draw routine for Symbols. Be aware, there is no compatibility for this if translating to Autocad and therefor Compatibility Mode must also be toggled off in the KnockOuts... menu of the View pull-down.
