You can edit match line styles, match line label styles, or edit, move or hide match lines or their labels.
Like other AutoCAD Civil 3D objects, you can edit certain properties of a match line. For example, you can change a match line’s object name, description, object style, or the layer on which it is displayed. Match line objects are displayed in the Prospector tree, and you can control their default style and labeling in the Match Line collection in the Settings tree. For more information, see the Match Line Properties dialog box.
Match lines can include a label containing information that you want. For example, you may want your match line labels to identify the previous and next sheet (view frame).
You can edit a match line length using grips, or move match lines. Use the options on the Match Lines page of the Create View Frames wizard to control how match lines are positioned on alignments, and by how much distance match lines can be repositioned (moved) after you create them.
The only way match lines can be deleted is to delete the view frame, or the view frame group, it belongs to. Use the match line style to hide the visibility of match lines if you do not want them to display. For more information, see Deleting Match Lines.
