I think you missed a super handy setting that should be highlighted.<br /><br />For Mechanical and Electrical View Disciplines, the non-MEP element Categories are displayed using the Underlay graphics settings. Rather than jump through a few hoops to turn this off, you are better off just changing the Underlay display settings themselves.<br /><br />To do this, go to Manage->Additional Settings->Halftone/Underlay. From this dialog, you can globally define the Underlay appearance, and thus provide a great deal of control over the in-Viewport and printed appearance.<br /><br />We built this feature 3 releases ago with this exact use scenario in mind, although one could argue we didn't place it in the most discoverable place in the UI.<br /><br />Feel free to post that back up on the main post if you think it's helpful.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />KyleKyleBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17147511783897630792noreply@blogger.com
