Hide drawing objects from plotting, but still visible on screen
Hide drawing objects from plotting, but still visible on screen
(OP)
Is it possible to assign a line on a drawing sheet to show on screen but when the sheet is plotted the line is not shown on the printed paper? Maybe there is an attribute I can assign to the line?
I would also like this line to not show up on any other drawing sheet export, ie Printing, PDF, TIFF, CGM export.
Thanks

RE: Hide drawing objects from plotting, but still visible on screen
Off the top of my head, you can do a couple of things that might give you similar results:
1. Put all geometry that you don't want plotted out onto a seperate layer and just turn that layer off before plotting.
2. Use Hide to hide all geometry that you don't want to show when plotting.
There's probably other methods that will accomplish the same thing, but these 2 were the easiest I could think of.

It may work for printing and pdf plotting, but probably would not work for image export (tiff, jpeg, etc).
