Cutting Line Format

Have anybody faced / solved this kind of issue? I have made a definition in the Document Properties -setup for cutting line format, but it does not work. What is wrong here?

Do you have the cutting line on assigned to a layer that is redefining the definition?
If so, then the layer is overriding the font.

That can happen if your active Layer is set to something other than -Per Standard-. Is that the case?

there is a bug into the document property UI (at least in sw 2023 sp5) you need to click around and switch back and forth from that category and you will see that setting reverts back to what your drawings is showing you.
I had to find the right combination of clicks to make that setting saved...

So, that happens to me with Detail views on SW 2022 SP$. I thought it was only me. Glad I am not the only one.

At the begining it made me nuts as I thought I was just missing to click the option, but I have a macro to extract in plain text all settings saved into a template so it was clear that something was completely ignored from the document property tab...and nothing was saved.

I am saying this since 2014: SW UI is wrecked and need to be remade from scratch.

Thank you all! Yes I had a layer -setup that was overriding the wanted setup. I can live with it now when I know how to live with it.
