AutoCAD 14 Layer Printing

crystalrae · Feb 16, 2001

In AutoCAD 2000 there is a way to set a layer up not to print. Is there a way to do this in AutoCAD 14? I tried puttting it on the defpoints layer but the note I need to see in the CAD file and not on printed paper disappears. I don't want to freeze or turn off the layer because anyone working on the files needs to read this note before they start. Can anyone help?

It seems odd that when you put the notes on the DEFPOINTS layer it disappears on your drawing screen. I assume you don't have that layer OFF or FROZEN. We use the DEFPOINTS layer frequently for non-plotting notes and have had no problem in R14. Can you give me more details?

The layer is turned on and is not frozen or even locked. I always thought you could view that layer but it just wouldn't plot - maybe I should look thru the varibles to see if it's being caused by that.

Pull up your layer control. On the far right it will dsiplay a printer looking icon. Click on it and it will not print the layer..
