Tshwayder Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Is there still no option to in Vectorworks 2020 to have a visible class that never prints (similar to AUTO CAD's "non-plot" layer)? I know you can turn the visibility of the class off before printing, but that seems an extra, non-necessary, potentially troubling way to do something that could be really simple. 2 Quote Link to comment
Boh Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 Not yet. Has been requested some time back tho. My workaround is to have classes whose names are prefixed with “NonPlot-“ and prior to printing I turn these classes off. In the edit class dialogue I can also quickly turn off the visibilities of theses classes in all viewports. Quote Link to comment
Tshwayder Posted March 2, 2020 Author Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yeah, that's my work around too, just thought I'd check to see if it has been updated. I've recently added notes to some of my drawings that I don't want printed but if I, or anyone else, opens it up and the class has been turned off already, there's no way to know to turn it on and read the note (unless you look through all the class visibilities). But thanks for confirming my suspicions Boh. Quote Link to comment
Boh Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I just put those notes on the sheet outside the printable area bright red on none class. 2 Quote Link to comment

This basic functionality has been wishlisted since at least 2009; here’s one such wishlist thread. Please go up-vote. 1 Quote Link to comment

At the top left of that page, next to the topic title, there will be an ‘up’ arrow. That’s where you can click to ‘up-vote’ any Wishlist request. Quote Link to comment
