Category in Advanced options dialog: Printing

Note that this setting only affects drawings printed using the old printing functionality (XS_USE_OLD_PLOT_DIALOG=TRUE), and it does not completely match what you see in drawings in Tekla Structures. If XS_USE_OLD_PLOT_DIALOG is set to FALSE (default), then XS_USE_LINECLIP has currently no effect, and the lines are clipped in the same way in drawings and in printouts. With the current printing feature you can define either a transparent or opaque background for texts, notes, and marks as a substitute for this advanced option.

Set this advanced option to TRUE to clip continuous lines at objects in drawing printouts (paper or .pdf). Set to FALSE to display continuous lines, for example, to run the line through text or drawing marks. The default value is TRUE.

This is how the line clipping is displayed in drawings currently:

This is how it is printed:

This advanced option is role specific. When the type SYSTEM(ROLE) is in use, the default value is used. When the type MODEL(ROLE) or DRAWING(ROLE) is in use, you can change the value, which is then the same for all users in the current model.
