Dimension class visibility not toggling to show off

[Greg Rosenke]

I need to make marketing drawings showing unit layout. One set of PDF drawings will need to show room dimensions and an identical set of PDF drawings will not show the dimensions.

 

I'm new, so this is an explanation of my workflow:

I've selected my viewport and click 'Edit Annotations'. I added my dimensions. I created a unique class name called "DIMS_unit". I select the dimension and in the OIP select the unique name from dropdown list. I then exit Viewport Annotations. If I want to export to PDF with no dimensions showing, I then go to the Navigation/Classes and turn visibility off for the unique dimension class name, but they are still showing.

 

What am I missing?

Your workflow is correct.

Make sure that class is not active and your issue should go away.

 

correction...

Select your viewport and go to the OIP.

From there, click on the classes button for the viewport.

Turn off the class from there.

you need to select the viewport.

then look at the OIP (object info panel)., not your navigation panel.

Find the class button there and set it accordingly.

@Greg Rosenke-yes this is the likely culprit - I still every once in a while forget and have to 'oh yeah THAT class or layer' button.

@Jeff Prince ..."not your the navigation panel" was the kicker.

 

Ah, that makes more sense.

Selecting "Classes..." in the Viewport was the missing puzzle piece.

Thanks all.

Don't convince yourself of that, it's a trap.

We all learn in a variety of ways, it just so happens that in the graphics industry we use pictures to communicate.
