Match lines persist in an AutoCAD drawing as objects with the name AeccMatchLine.
If you selected the Insert Match Lines check box on the Match Lines page of the Create View Frames wizard, a match line is created at each view frame intersection. The first and last view frames in a group have only one match line. For plan only sheets, you have the option to not insert match lines on the view frames. To do this, simply remove the check mark from this check box on the Create View Frames wizard.
When creating plan and profile or profile only sheets, match lines will always be inserted, and the Insert Match Lines check box is selected but unavailable (you cannot remove the check mark). If you are creating plan only sheets, you can remove the check mark from the box and match lines will not be inserted in the resulting plan views.
Properties of match lines, such as where they are positioned on the alignment, a match line style, and a match line label style, can be specified on the Match Lines page of the Create View Frames wizard. You can set defaults for their styles using the Match Line settings available on the Settings tab in Toolspace.
Match lines have a match line mask area on the outside of each match line. This lets you mask data outside of the match lines. You can set hatch pattern options for this area using the Match Line Style dialog box.
Match lines and the match line mask area are displayed only in plan views, not in profile views. The match line mask area exists only in paper space.
