To hide the specific layers while plotting, various options can be used like turning off the layers for plotting , freezing the layers and turning off.

Turning off for plotting will show the layers on the screen but are not output on printing. The layers that are turned off, will hide the layers and also these will not appear on the screen.

- The prevent layers used using the plotters for plotting provides the layer manager that allow easy options to customize the application. 

 

- The layers used in layer manager have specific options like:

 

- Turning off the layers

 

- Freezing the layers

 

- Turning off the layers for plotting

 

- Layers used in the plotting remain visible on the screen and doesn’t provide the output to the printer. 

 

- Individual layers can also be set up in specific viewports that allows drawing of the layers that contains the systems applications and options. 

 

- It uses the viewport concept that allows the different layers to be frozen on the view port and this way it can be hidden from other layers
