Main Content

You may want to have certain graphical objects (symbol, drawing objects, lines, texts, etc.) visible in SkyCAD, but invisible when the sheet/project is printed. For example, on a sheet, you may want to add personal notes, or construction lines that allow you to achieve uniformity throughout the sheets in a project, neither of which you want visible when the sheet/project is printed.

To make a drawing object (from the Drawing tab) on a sheet invisible when printing, double-click on it to explore its properties, then de-selected the Printable property.

To make a symbol (from the Symbol library) invisible when printing, right-click on it and choose Explore block or Explore connection (whichever is applicable) to explore the properties of the graphical object, then de-select the Printable property.
