CW2013 running finally!

I see that the gaskets & weld gaps are in the current .prj layer.
How can I hide or turn them off for plotting without changing them to a different layer?

Thanks,

You assign a layer override in your PRJ for those. Then you turn that layer off before plotting.

R,
Ok,assign a layer overrride in exactly where in the prj?

thx,

At the Edit Component section. You can type in a new layer name. I use _Bolts.

The SYSVIS command has been mentioned before as a workaround. It works pretty well.

Edited said layer to system, apply, save prj. reload dwg, set spec, and pipe a weld gap and gasket, wg & gasket still is on 150 layer.

it adds a _ to the name of the layer so it will put them on the _system layer.

unfortunately, at least in my case, it still puts them in as the same color as the spec layer. It's annoying, but at least they are on a non-plotting layer

edit: Now I feel silly for overlooking the color index.

mphipps!

The a_ is the winner! Many thanks!

bumping this thread as I noticed a "bug" with the layers.

I currently have the bolts/gaskets coming in on the _system layer as indicated in the .prj file.

If I double click on a gasket or bolt to open up the component edit, as soon as I close out of it by selecting "ok", it changes to the spec layer.

It seems to happen with any component not on the spec layer, but for our purposes, the _system layer (gaskets/bolts) is the only non-spec layer indicated in the .prj
