I've got a part of a project that is laid out radially - Ideally I'd use arc'd ref planes for layout and control, especially for print behavior. They don't do that, for obvious reasons. I've got grids in some places that I want to have shown, so grid lines aren't ideal either... this is the first time I've really wanted a 'no-print' line style. How are any of you dealing with this?

Thanks in advance...

Jeff

How about a mass object? It can extend through multiple levels and be easily toggled on and off with the Mass element override. It doesn't print unless you explicitly turn it on in visibility graphics....

Good idea - can you snap to mass elements?

I know the 'wall from face' tool doesn't work on curved surfaces (at least not slightly complex ones)...

...yes you can.
