Hide viewport borders for printing

00:04

At this point, you are just about ready to print the drawing,

00:08

but you probably do not want the viewport

00:10

borders themselves to appear in the printed output.

00:15

Since the views

00:16

were created on their own viewport layer,

00:19

you can hide the viewport borders by simply turning that layer off

00:25

when you expand the layer drop down

00:28

and try to toggle that layer off. However,

00:31

you see a dialogue warning that you are about to turn

00:34

off the current layer and asking what you want to do.

00:39

Although you do have the option of turning off the current layer.

00:43

The warning explains that if you do this,

00:46

any new objects you create will not be displayed in

00:49

the drawing until you turn the layer back on.

00:53

The best practice is to make a different layer, the current layer

00:57

and then turn off the layer

01:01

select keep the current layer on,

01:05

then expand the layer drop down and select layer zero to make it the current layer,

01:12

then expand the layer drop down again and toggle off the viewport layer.

01:19

Since that layer is no longer the current layer,

01:22

you no longer see the warning and the viewport borders are no longer visible.

01:28

Switch back to the model tab

01:31

just to assure yourself that you really have not changed any of the model geometry.

01:39

Then switch back to the furniture plan layout,

01:42

which now displays exactly the way you want it to appear when you print this sheet.
