Avoiding Construction lines and Circle centers in printouts.

Avoiding Construction lines and Circle centers in printouts.

Avoiding Construction lines and Circle centers in printouts.

(OP)
Is is possible to hide construction line in drawings? I have a drawing that is symmetric about a centre line (for construction) . Now i want the print out not to show the centre-line. How can i do this?

I tried to give the centre line same color as background which avoided this line but the intersections of this center line with other lines has some cross marks that are still in default color.

Also i don't want to print centers point marks of the circles.

thanks,
Noda DOF

You can delete them, or RMB select and hide them, or move them onto a layer and turn the layer off.

I'm confused as why you have construction lines on a dwg. Are you drawing parts in a dwg file?
Per CBL, you can hide them.

Thank you CBL. Thats a quick response and it worked. I dont want to delete tham as i may have to modify the drawings. I chose the third option(layers). BTW what is RMB select?

ctopher: i am not using it for engineering parts. its for some other drawings showing lay-outs that people usually do in autocad.
