How to Prevent a Drawing From Printing in Autocad
When drawing in autocad, we often draw outlines and other drawing objects to guide us in drawing the real drawing entities we want. However we don't want these outlines or guides to appear in the final printout. So how do we
prevent these undesired drawings to be printed in paper?
One of the solutions is to draw these outlines or guides on DEFPOINTS layer. This layer is one of the default layers found in the autocad layers dropdown menu. Another way to do this is to create a separate layer for the outline or guides drawing objects and make sure that the printer icon of this layer is marked or clicked off .
