Hi guys.

I'm just coming to grips with AutoCAD Mechanical 2009. My problem is when I print out a drawing all the standard parts (Holes, bolts etc generated within the software) have a small circle at its'insertion point and all these small cicles are being printed out. Can I switch them off, or isolate them out so they won't print?

Thanks in advance.

how about setting pdmode = 0

Thanks but I already tried that through the normal point menu. It doesn't work.

I have also tried exploding the 2dpart to see if the insertion points (circles in this case) have a specific layer which I could isolate and make non-printable, but once I have exploded it to it's individual items the circles disappear.

Any other suggestions anyone?
