Table Outline invisible

[Gaituuth]

Hi,

Is there a property available which changes the oultine of a table to invisible / not printable

By default it prints the lines around and inside the table,

I want to change it that it is not visible on my print, but I don't know which property I should use and how I can do it.

anyone?

Best regards,

Gerald

See cell borders property,

       [CommandMethod("tablevis")]
        public static void setGridLinesInvisible()
        {
            Document doc = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument;
            Editor ed = doc.Editor;
            Database db = doc.Database;
            PromptEntityOptions opts = new PromptEntityOptions("\nSelect the table:");
            opts.SetRejectMessage("\nMust be the table only...");
            opts.AddAllowedClass(typeof(Table), true);
            PromptEntityResult res = ed.GetEntity(opts);
            if (res.Status != PromptStatus.OK) return;
            using (Transaction tr = db.TransactionManager.StartTransaction())
            {
                DBObject obj = tr.GetObject(res.ObjectId, OpenMode.ForRead, false) as DBObject;
                Table tbl = obj as Table;
                if (tbl==null) return;
                tbl.UpgradeOpen();
               tbl.Cells.Borders.Bottom.IsVisible = false;
               tbl.Cells.Borders.Top.IsVisible = false;
               tbl.Cells.Borders.Right.IsVisible = false;
               tbl.Cells.Borders.Left.IsVisible = false;
                tr.Commit();
            }
        }
