basty Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Why there is no "hide objects" option (please see below pic) in the plot of ACAD2014? If there is available in ACAD2014, please show me how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 What version did that screenshot come from? It looks pretty old. In 2014 there is an option to "Hide paperspace objects". Is that what you're looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basty Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Why my "hide paperspace objects" option is grey colored and I can't select it (please see below pic)? What's wrong? How to fix it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Because you're trying to plot from model space. There are no paperspace objects in model space, so the option is greyed out. Switch to a layout tab and the option will be available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switch to a layout tab and the option will be available. I can do it in "model space" of old version of ACAD. Why now is can't? And what is "paperspace objects"? Please show me by an image.

ReMark Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 You don't need an image to understand what a paper space object is. Any object, including viewports, that exist in paper space is, by definition, a paper space object. Try this exercise. Start a new drawing. It will open in model space. Do not draw anything. Invoke the ERASE command and press Enter. When prompted to Select objects type in the word ALL then press Enter. AutoCAD will return the following: 2 found 2 were not in current space. What objects did AutoCAD find that were not in the current space? That would be the viewport in Layout1 and Layout2. Now switch to Layout1. Draw a rectangle using the RECTANGLE command and a circle. Switch back to model space. Invoke the ERASE command and when prompted to Select objects type the word ALL and press Enter. Autocad will respond with the following: 4 found 4 were not in current space. AutoCAD found two additional objects. Can you guess what those objects are? Think carefully.

Cad64 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I asked you what version you were using that gave you the option to "Hide Objects" but you didn't answer. I did some searching and that option appears in Acad 2000, so I will assume that's what you were using. According to the information I found, the "Hide Objects" option removed hidden lines from objects plotted from the model tab. So I'm assuming you are working with 3D models and trying to plot them out? If so, you can invoke the "Hide" command before plotting, to remove hidden lines. Perhaps if you explained what you're trying to do, we could offer other solutions that work in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkmcswain Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 In AutoCAD 2014, use this instead: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you explain what you want to get, then the answer will be accurate. Why do you think it's weird? I just want to hid the line. This is the example when you not hid the line: This is when you hid the line and this is what I am asking for: Edited January 24, 2018 by basty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Attach a copy of the drawing you are having the problem with to your next post. Images are of no help at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 The suggestion by rkmcswain in post #9 works just fine here for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
