You should have two styles. One for proposed and one for existing. Set the layers, colors, etc per style. Then you select proposed for proposed and existing for existing. If you do not know how to make or edit styles we can help you with that too.

thanks for the quick reply. I have a existing and proposed style, but when I turn on the proposed contours I still get the existing.

You are seeing both? That would be correct unless you have turned the existing off. Post the drawing, if poosible, and I'll take a look at it.

I found a way to turn off just the existing, I renamed the layer the existing were on and turned them off in the layer control. thanks

That works. Another thing I do is have a style called OFF and under the display tab just turn everything off.
