    Default Refine masking region in section heads for plan annotation so we can actually read section cuts

    Summary: Refine masking region in section heads for plan annotation so we can actually read section cuts

    Description: At present the masking region overrides the center line separating detail number & sheet. If we separate the masking region about the centerline, it rotates with the section head. Plus the masking region is buggy when used in different plan views.

    Preferred option is have a masking region already setup in a section head. Can have an option or "pick box" to select having a masking region shown or not shown if others prefer.

    Thanks

    One could make separate masking regions for each area of the section head with the proper line style boundary?

    This is possible, though when the masking region is applied within the family, it hides the line separating the label references. The only workaround is to create a "textual" line using underscores, and place the text in the position of the separation line. (This is required to have the lines direction maintain alignment with the labels when the sections are rotated.)

    As a wish, it would still be useful rather than the workarounds required to achieve this.
