Can someone please help me. I am trying to set lines up so that they display but do not print. Any ideas.

Hi wavard,

Does this post help answer your question?

Make sure you are checking the box that says "Print lineweights" (over on the "Advanced" tab of your "Plot" command window).

Thanks for your reply Caddit.

I checked the print lineweights box & I set the object's lineweight to zero width. However the line that is not supposed to print still prints.

Have you tried this in AutoCAD lately? Line weight 0 prints there as well. Very thin.

Oh well it looks like the only way that I can control whether a object prints or not is by the print toggle in layers.

In AutoCAD LT 2009 you can control an individual objects printability by changing its plot style in the Properties window (ie if the screening of an object is changed from 100 to 0 it will not print).

Yes. That's normally how it is done.
