Excluding multiple sheets from count & printing within a drawing environment.

[Luke_Hunter]

It would be good to exclude multiple sheets from a count or printing in a drawing environment. We create a fabrication drawing and add ''NESTING'' sheets after the 'FAB'' sheets to place in the flat patterns to export. We don't want to print out all the sheets as we can have 50+. We exclude them (the Nesting sheets) from printing and exclude them from the sheet count. We have to do this for every sheet. It would be useful if you could highlight in the browser bar the sheets which you want to exclude and exclude them all in one go.

f I am not mistaken it can be implemented using ilogic

One would think this already exists given there is a selection to print excluded sheets.

Why archive this post?  The issue is still valid so if I want to vote on it i will have to create a whole new post or find one someone else did and vote on that one.  Then maybe message all the poor suckers who voted for this post and tell them to log back in and vote again on another post so that maybe this time Inventor will take them seriously. 

Honestly i've struggled since 2015 with this issue (excluding multiple prints).  It wasn't the biggest Inventor annoyance by far so i've dealt with it but i remember one time looking up the issue and finding that there was no solution so i just went back to slogging through it.  Looks like some one fought with it enough to actually create a post that others voted on.  I would love to vote for this as well but now i have to repost and the vote count starts back at 1.  This is rather disheartening and makes me not want to do it at all.  Then i think how many others out there feel the exact same way and not understanding the vote structure or any of that so i will repost my issue.  

This brings a larger grievance i have with inventor.  This would be a nice quality of life improvement for the program.  I can see it taking away a fair amount of grief for any who have multiple configurations.  It doesn't rise to the level of a pain to say i would quit Inventor over it but this is just one issue.  Imagine how many others are out there and all those little pains give someone a bad taste in their mouth and less likely to stick with your program even though individually it doesn't rise to the point where it gets a lot of votes.  I know coding is difficult resources can be slim but if you want to make loyal customers you find a way to make their day easier with the small stuff as well as the big stuff.
