VHI_WMA Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I am not sure about everyone, but I jump around from project to project...ALOT. I have a layer that is a "design notes" which i store notes and leaders about thoughts I have as the design process goes. As i jump from project to project, i have to turn this layer on and off, It would be nice to be able to toggle layers that will not be sent to the printer. So i can just leave it on and make the corrections as a go. Anyone have a way to make this work better? Should i move this post to the suggestions? I am sure this would be a good add for anyone using revision clouds as well. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 I would like to see this too. No Print Layer. I have a layer in my details sheet that I use for snapping and alignment. I have made it such an obnoxious color that it is easy to remember to turn off when I see it printed by mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHI_WMA Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Yeah, It would be great for guide lines on a layout sheet, aligning elevations....etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Currently I just draw cad lines and then delete them. Except for the cad lines I don't delete and then notice them after printing and then slam my fist on the keyboard and then order a new keyboard from Amazon.

Alaskan_Son Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Can you guys not just use "working" layer sets? You can have any various layers turned on in those sets but turned off in the sets you send to layout. This way you don't have to worry about deleting anything if you don't want to.

VHI_WMA Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 I looked at having "working" layer sets, but I would have to create a bunch, then have my annotation sets function correctly, and keep it maintained...#PIA. The other function this would serve would be collaboration. I have 4 people in my office, so if we could designate a layer in our plan files defaulted to design notes, we could then collaborate via that layer and never worry about printing the notes. It just seems like adding a control like this would be a great function. I spend enough time in emails, I would rather spend it adding designer notes to a plan, then send it John doe in finishes and the email will simply read "HERE IS THE PLAN, SEE NOTES FOR CHANGES, EMAIL/CALL FOR Q's" Can you guys not just use "working" layer sets? You can have any various layers turned on in those sets but turned off in the sets you send to layout. This way you don't have to worry about deleting anything if you don't want to.
