Guys,

Trying to print a floor plan but it KEEPS plotting with a viewport box around everything - eery time i go to delete the VP it just deletes itself and everything within it.

Help - how can i get rid of this viewport appearing on all the print outs?!!

go to your layer manager, mine is top left hand corner, scroll down to viewports(or whatever you have called it) and the the little lightbulb beside it, click on it and it should go away

provided you have set your layers up right

In the layer manager, you can select which layers plot or not. By default, we have every layer turned on to plot bar one, usually called the defpoints layer, all your viewports should be drawn using this layer. Alternatively, select the layer that you have used to draw your viewport in layer manager and turn it off to plot. Pic below shows the column under which youn can turn the appropiate layer on or off to plot

Yeah, I normally have a layer called veiwport and then turn them off when I go to print.

That will only turn the layers on and off in AutoCAD, the layers will still plot regardless of whether you hide them. You can freeze layers but in this case it would hide both the viewport box and whatever it is displaying from model space

thats pretty much what we do, i have a layer called viewport, and have it set not to plot. so you can see it on screen and adjust the size etc but when it plots it doesnt come out, simple
