Which frame line?

It depends what aspect ratio you want to frame for.

The full gate is the white area, 1.66:1.

For 1.78 (16:9) you would use the tick marks that crop the top and bottom a little, and the full width of the white area.

Combo ground glasses can be a bit confusing, if you don’t need to safely preserve for another aspect ratio, getting hold of a ground glass marked with just the aspect ratio you want can be useful. A rental house may have other ground glasses available.
