Hi
I have a filled shape in a nested reference (ref. 1.1) that hide linework in another nested reference (ref 1.2) (1 level of nesting).
I have tried changing element and level priority but still the fill shows above the lines. The reference priority cannot be changed because of nesting.
I have also tried changing the update sequence in the file attaching directly the references (ref 1) and it does not seem to have changed a thing.
Has anyone else had this issue? What should I try next?
Thanks.

The quickest solution turn off the ref in the nest for the filled shape exref.. then attach the filled shape exref as a single xref ontop now in the ref manager sequence set it to the first xref ie slot 1 at the top of the list .. then everything else after it so it gets painted first then everything else is painted on top.. as the way the printer would need to lay it down.. on paper.. not the most inutitive tool but when you think of it as printing order its a bit easier.. other drafter use transparencey but then it mucks up the way colours look and you can't make the legend look the same becaue stuff shines thru change the colours like air photos .. so I put 2d filled shape exrefs underneath all the other exrefs and I dont put it a nest as its hard to control later.. or rebuild your nest so filled shapes is first .. still may not work in all situations...

Sorry, but it's not solution (and for sure not the quickest), but a workaround only in situation, when probably standard settings should work.

ok its a workaround .. when the settings are clearly not working for the user.. and its pretty quick rather than having to make a new nest .. so what ? a solution is an answer to a problem that give the desired outcome.. I think your being too pedantic about terminology ..
The guy has an issue to make drgs work and has a dead line for sure ..( yep an assumption there I said it !)
And when the conventional method is not doing what it is the expected outcome.. so a " work around" gets the job done... later he should investigate why the conventional method isnt working .. trying to get things to work as they should and waiting for a proper solution means that you miss the deadline then its not really helping .. is it?
