Ivisible Line to contain BHATCH?

[Fallguy]

Is their a way to create a line only visible in autocad but one that will not print.

 

I want to confine some bhatch within a particular area but do not want the boundry of the shape to be seen, i.e, an invisible line that does not print would do the trick.

 

Or is their a way to keep the hatch contained if I delete the boundary shape?

Put the boundary on Defpoints layer (not necessarily recommended) or on a 'no plot' layer

 

You can delete the boundary, if the hatch is associative, Acad will notify you that the associativity has been removed

Thanks, for the help. I run a customized version of autocad that brings in most of the layers automatically or I just do match layer to change when needed.

 

Played in layers and have seen where you can turn printer on/off.

 

Deleted border and at least for now the bhatch did not run amuck all over the page.
