ShawnPeter Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 On the layouts, can you remove the border from viewports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chulse Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Put the VP border (pline and or VP) on a layer that does not plot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chulse Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Yes you can. nice.. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 nice.. :wink: Well that's all he asked for..... Place your viewports on their own layer (such as Vports) and turn them off. You can also use CHSPACE on the items in the viewport and then delete the border. You can also just delete or erase the border and the border will disappear.

rustysilo Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 If you hold your hands in front of your eyes just right you can make it go away that way too. Or if you use a color dependent plot table you can set a color to a screening of 0 and put your vp on that color. Another option might be to set the size of the vp the same as your border/t-block and then bring your border/t-block to front so you don't actually "see" the vp.

GE13579 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 I would agree with chulse and SLW if you're asking for the viewport border to be removed from the plot. Here we always have viewports on a non- plottable layer. If, however, you're wanting to "get rid" of it in PS, then I just freeze the layer in the current viewport. You can still activate the viewport this way by double clicking within where it is (if you remember where it is!!). Hope this makes some sense???

Guest Alan Cullen Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 AGM, sometimes you can be as flippant as Styk and myself. I did like that response. :lol: Me, I always stick viewports on a layer "z viewports", with colour cyan. Cyan is a no plot colour for us, and it stands out in the plot preview so we know something is there that we don't want plotted. Layer "z viewports" is set to "no plot".

SLW210 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Oh, silly me! I forgot to say "how"... Thanks guys. Sorry about that, but me being me I couldn't resist. Another option I thought of is to make the color of the viewport very close to your background color, as in either color 250 or even True Color 10, 10, 10 for a black back ground or 255 for a white background.

khoshravan Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Well that's all he asked for..... Place your viewports on their own layer (such as Vports) and turn them off. You can also use CHSPACE on the items in the viewport and then delete the border. You can also just delete or erase the border and the border will disappear. I thought deleting the vport border, will delete total view port. I tried and all vp gone. Are you sure it could be deleted without affecting the vport itself? Then it should be selected in a special way.But I agree with you to turn the layer for that border line off. One more question arises. If we have more than one vp in a layout, is it a good idea to put all border lines in one layer? It will be easy to manipulate like turn it off, but I am not sure if it could affect other things or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can place them all on a single layer or create a layer for each viewport, should not matter. On the layouts, can you remove the border from viewports? I see no mention of retaining the contents of the viewport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no mention of retaining the contents of the viewport. Then I was unable to express myself clearly. In layout tab, in order to delete the vport border line, I select it by window crossing and for grips in four corner, get blue. then I hit delete button and border goes including its content which is the view port. Therefore I concluded that the border line should not deleted or erased, except it's layer hidden or frozen . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AutoNewbie Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Make a layer, I call mine VP, and turn it off. In paperspace, click on the viewport border, then assign it to the VP layer. POOF, the border will disappear, leaving the contents of the VP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AutoNewbie Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 That will erase the VP border. Just to be clear, when you place a viewport on a sheet it has a border around it. To make that border disappear, assign it to a layer that has been turned off. The border will disappear leaving the contents of the viewport. Is that not what you want to do?

ReMark Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Erasing a viewport is not recommended unless you really don't need that particular view. However, putting viewports on their own layer and setting the layer to "no print" is highly recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khoshravan Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Is that not what you want to do? Yes. Exactly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
