I am trying to create a template, and ran into a little issue. is there any way to create a line (in sheets not views, or families) that does not print, this line also does not export.
In acad there is a layer that is called def points. this layer never plots, and we can use it to make guidelines, similar to the ref plains in family's. In fact in acad I can make every line not plot.
my workaround is that I created a linetype and added the lines to a group and placed them on multiple sheets (by making it a group I can copy and paste it on multiple sheets, and if I need to change the group it changes it on every sheet), I have also made this linetype with some butt ugly color that stands out. when I get ready to plot the set I go in and turn off that linetype, or hide the category, seems to complicated a process for me, this is why I am looking for a no plot detail line.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
