Autocad LT PDF Export to Invisible Layers

[Nislet]

Good afternoon,

I'm wondering if it's possible to automatically hide a layer when exported into PDF?

Forinstance, if I have a wall layer and a window layer, after I have exported them into PDF, both layers are present but only the wall layer is visible until you physically click on the window layer to view it (little eye icon to the left of the layer in Adobe Reader).

I have tried Google'in and looking around the forums to no joy.

Regards,

James.

Make sure all layers you have are with turn-on "Plot" property in layer properties manager.

If "plot" property is turned-off then objects which are in those layers will not be visible in PDF.

Hi James,

If you are trying to create a PDF, that when opens it has by default some layers visible and other  off. This can't be managed by the DWG to PDF driver provided with AutoCAD.

You are describing an "automatically hidden layer" in your post: as in what you want is what you are already getting.

So can you better describe what it is you want to see in a PDF? AutoCAD only creates a PDF that looks like what you see on your screen and PDF Reader is not AutoCAD obviously so you can't make it behave like AutoCAD.
