Hide views 1

[cubalibre000]

Hi,
I've a view that I want to hide, then I set the view as refeence, but the workflow of our PDM generate the PDF with the view visible.
If I do the PDF via Export to PDF, the view as reference is visible.
It's possible to hide a view ?

Thank you...

Setting a view as 'Reference' only removes the view from the interactive display, but it's still there when performing any sort of 'plot' type operation including exporting a PDF. This was used to improve display performance on complicated Drawings when there were many views (this is really a legacy function from the days when display performance, both from a hardware and software point of view, was not nearly as good as it is today).

As for doing what your attempting now, try this; create a second sheet for your Drawing and then select the view(s) that you wish to 'hide' and then 'Cut & Paste' them onto the second sheet. Now when you plot or export to PDF don't include the second sheet. Later, when you wish to 'Show' the view(s) again, simply reverse the above workflow. If you're going to be doing this often, then perhaps a simple Journal or NX Open application could be developed which would automate this.

Personally, I like using a manually set view boundary and then set the rectangle outside any geometry

The only problem with that is that any Centerlines, ID Symbols, Dimension and so on may get left behind and often goes into a 'retained' status.

Maybe make the view scale very tiny so that the it would appear invisible.
The view scale can be controlled by an expression.
