Drafting linetypes; invisible lines possible?

I am creating templates for various uses in our shop. I have found I like to use tables, populated with attribute-linked text. I would like to know if there is a way to make the borders/ boundaries of the table invisible; so it won't print. So far my only solution is to make the color white, but the table still cuts into drawing views and other items should they overlap. Is there no "phantom"/"invisible" option?

I'll include a file: In the background I have a table. I don't care to see or print the tables' lines. I only want to use the structure.

You most certainly can make that a phantom and invisible line. I noticed you created Ansi_inch standards. You need to modify a line type in that standard. Then you can set the table to this new line type. You will not need to adjust the table properties/text/blank background option.
