HARRY-PLOTTER Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I want to create one non-printing object - not all objects in a layer ... how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tharwat Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Set the dxf 60 to 1 then print after that reset the value to 0 to show back the previous selected objects . Search the forum and you should find at least two threads as far as I can remember . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 A work around will be to store a "no-plot" flag into entities as extended data and redefine the PLOT command to temporary move all entities bearing it into a no-plot layer, proceed to plot and move them back to their original layer.

HARRY-PLOTTER Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 Is not about visibility... but i think is impossible other way... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 If you hide it, will not be printed either, so Tharwat is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tharwat Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 I'm not sure... I will be happy to be wrong... Try this and let me know who's wrong . (defun c:hideobjs (/ ss i sn) ;; Tharwat 30.July.2014 ;; ;; Hide objects temporary ;; (princ "\n Select objects to hide ") (if (setq i -1 ss (ssget "_:L") ) (while (setq sn (ssname ss (setq i (1+ i)))) (entmod (append (entget sn) (list (cons 60 1)))) ) ) (princ) ) ;; ;; (defun c:showobjs (/ ss i sn) ;; Tharwat 30.July.2014 ;; ;; Show hidden objects ;; (if (setq i -1 ss (ssget "_X" '((60 . 1))) ) (while (setq sn (ssname ss (setq i (1+ i)))) (entmod (append (entget sn) (list (cons 60 0)))) ) ) (princ) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan BMR Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 Convert plotstyles to .stb, set one style to color 255,255,254 and apply it to each object you don't want to be plotted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
