Dadgad Posted September 21, 2013 Posted September 21, 2013 Welcome to CADTutor. You want to click on LAYER PROPERTIES MANAGER, or on the dropdown layer list, and select VIEWPORT FREEZE for the layer upon which you have placed your viewport. Quote
cmuraztaz Posted September 21, 2013 Author Posted September 21, 2013 thank you soo much ...love you.. Quote

If it is the actual viewport itself, what I do is create a layer just for my viewports and keep only the viewports on that layer. Then, in the layer properties list I click on the little printer icon for that layer. This is the No Plot switch for the layer. Then, the viewport borders are always visible in paperspace, but they do not print out on the actual paper. Quote
cmuraztaz Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 sir i found some template files and i don't know how he do this.. and if i click the plot this is what happen.. can anyone teach me how to figure this out..its big help to me... and thanks to quick reply for every one.. Quote
mikekmx Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 (edited) the column you have circled stuff in......that 'plot' setting determines if the layer is plotted or not (defpoints layer is set by autocad as a no-plot layer and cannot be changed, but other layers can be plotted or not plotted as you wish). stick your vp on a non-plot layer. leave it there. if you want a viewport border (sometimes it's nice to have one,sometimes not), then draw one over your vp border on a plotting layer (and EG name it 'Titles') reserve no-plot layers for stuff you never ever want to plot....eg i use mainly 2 no-plot layers, vp and dims (where i put my construction geometry rather than dims as such). generally the plot/no-plot setting is then left aone. the visibility of other objects is usually controlled by freezing/thawing - either globally or 'per viewport'.. have a play on a new drawing. hth post #7 explains it quite well doesn't it?

cmuraztaz Posted September 22, 2013 Author Posted September 22, 2013 master dana w. can u post a picture how to make like what you said....because i cant figure out...sorry cause im newbie... Quote
ReMark Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 What exactly are you having trouble trying to figure out? Most AutoCAD users will create a separate and distinct layer for their viewports via the Layer Properties Manager. They will also set this layer, as has been mentioned, not to print. When a red diagonal line is seen going through the printer icon that is what it means (no print). It is possible in any given viewport to make some layers not display by using the Viewport Freeze (VP Freeze) option found, once again, in the Layer Properties Manager. Quote
mikekmx Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 master dana w. can u post a picture how to make like what you said....because i cant figure out...sorry cause im newbie... step-by-step: do you know how to create a new layer? if so...start a new dwg and do so. name it vp.......colour: yellow is good. don't do or change anything eles for now Quote
Dana W Posted September 22, 2013 Posted September 22, 2013 The Layer properties manager is displayed in post #8. Can you open it in your program? Quote
ayethzerothree Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 just give your viewport a layer name (say for example vp ) on the layer table find the layer vp then click the small icon same as printer then thats it. your view port now is not printable. have a nice day Quote
