Greg Rosenke Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 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?

Jeff Prince Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 (edited) 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. Edited March 12 by Jeff Prince Quote Link to comment

Find the class button there and set it accordingly. 2 Quote Link to comment

Greg Rosenke Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 @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. I'm a visual learner. Thanks all. See pics: . 2 Quote Link to comment
