Good morning,
I try to be precise when sheeting up my drawings. When I place a linked view on a layout sheet, I notice I cannot snap my linked detail border exactly to my layout title block border. See highlight below that shows a small gap.
Is this preventable or just a quirk to live with? I realize line weights will for the most part cover up this gap, but precision is always better.
Thanks again,
Jim

I'm looking for someone working in X13 (Interiors) for ongoing help with floor plans and interior elevations. Someone who could help in a freelance capacity for my interior design business. This might include developing floor plans from hand drawn site measurements or PDFs from existing plans. Kitchen and bathroom elevations for construction purposes. Etc. No guarantees on the number of hours, but as needed throughout the year. Please reach out if interested.

Here's how you can make some nice looking demo elevations with red dashed linework.
Start with demo layer having the dashed + red linework style.
Then go 3D to vector view - and try to turn off the 'color' of the wall textures. Problem is it turns off the linework red color too, which you want to preserve:
My hack is just to turn the 'material color' to white for the textures on the existing model:
And the final result is pretty nice:
Then you can send this to your layout view as a static image ->
Or you can coordinate the demo elevations, which now look like this:
Final product - demo elevations with dashed, colored linework showing demo areas:
Does anybody have an easier idea? There could probably be some changes to the software to allow for 'plot lines' views with colored + dashed linework (or maybe there already is?) but currently this seems like the best way to do it.
