Removing Hidden Lines for Printing (PSPACE)

Certain types of objects act as opaque surfaces and can hide objects behind them. Objects that can hide other objects entirely or in part are

• Objects with non-zero thickness
• Circles
• Two-dimensional solids
• Wide polylines
• Surfaces and solids (from models created in AutoCAD)

When printing from paper space, AutoCAD LT processes each floating viewport for hidden lines according to that viewport's Hideplot setting. You set Hideplot for each floating viewport individually with MVIEW. The Hideplot setting does not affect plots made from model space or objects created in paper space. Hidden lines will be removed in a model space plot only if you select the Hide Lines option in the Print/Plot Configuration dialog box.
