Is there a way to turn off or hide a node?
Is there a way to turn off or hide a node?
(OP)
I want to be able to print extents in my layouts, but my ordinate dimensions leave a node at absolute 0,0 which throws the extents all out of wack. Can I shutoff or turn off the nodes but still maintain associative ordinante dimensioning?

FROZEN layers will not be included in a REGEN.
BUT!
But, TURNED OFF layers will be included in a REGEN ...so make sure to FREEZE the layers.
Hope that helps.

Did you regen after you FROZE those 2 layers?

Here's a patch to your plotting issues.
Instead of plotting "EXTENTS" ...
Have you tried to plot using "VIEW" ....
Of course you must setup a view.
BEFORE PLOTTING ....
Open your file to the space (model/ paper)which has your border.
type
-VIEW
<enter key>
W
<enter key>
plot
<enter key>
<pick the ONE corner of the border>
<and pick the opposite diagonal corner of the border>
AND you're done!
Now plot and pick VIEW.
Just a thought ...

(defun MAKE_INVISIBLE()
(vl-load-com)
(setq ENT (car (entsel)))
(setq VLENT (vlax-ename->vla-object ENT))
(vla-put-visible VLENT :vlax-false)
)

Type PDMODE and enter a number other than 0
hit enter.
Type PDSIZE and type in a size other than 0
hit enter.
In civil engineering we have 7 to 10 layers
of points depending on the utilities, ground
shots, and benchmarks. So we add layers and
place the points on those layers. We turn them
off as needed.
Hope this helps

Your code is so helpful, but it hides the dimension block totally. To hiding the node at the absolute 0,0 you should use the modified code as follow:
(defun MAKE_INVISIBLE()
(vl-load-com)
(setq ENT (car (nentsel)))
(setq VLENT (vlax-ename->vla-object ENT))
(vla-put-visible VLENT :vlax-false)
(command "REGEN")
)
The above code will solve the tzinger's problem.
After loading and running the function MAKE_INVISIBLE, you should select the node to be hide.
The modifications on the code are:
1. Using the function NENTSEL instead of ENTSEL
2. Using the command REGEN to make changes effective
