How to make a model unprintable

Go to the levelmanager, select all levels that you do not want to print from that model and uncheck "print".

Here's where to uncheck.

If "Print" is not available, right click the bar and select it there to make it show.

we don't want to block levels from printing but models on a file by file basis.  We have a mixture of older and newer drawings, If we select to only print sheet models, many/most of the older drawings will not be selected/processed in print organizer.  

In the drawings you want printed that aren't sheet models, how do you determine the printing area? If you have a shape on a specific level and "tell" Print Organizer to use that shape for your print boundary, then any model that doesn't have that shape will be ignored.

If the way you define printed area isn't standardized, it would be a challenge to find a standard way to tell the computer what to ignore.

Although I do like the idea of a model flag for "print". It would be one more thing for people to overlook, but I can see some use to it. Maybe you can post that to the "Ideas" section?

In all of the models, we use an automatically placed fence using zoom extents to define the plot area.  Newer drawing filess may have the default model with several  title blocks on it.  Other models in the same file lay out the individual sheets that we need to plot.  The default model is the model for which we occasionally want to turn plotting off.  

I will post to the Ideas section.  Thank you

Seems whatever solution you choose you would have to "touch" each file. Why not just create a Plot Organizer file (.pset) containing just the ones you want to print?

not everyone will remember which drawings in a plot set need to be deleted.  we normally do not save pset files, it is too easy to create new ones at plot time by dragging and dropping in only the files we need to plot.  

Actually, If you create a pset ahead of time, delete the unwanted models out of it and save it, that saves even more time and headache. It's just as easy to print just the sheets you want out of a pset - actually, easier than just dragging the files in and deleting out unwanted models.

we have too many sites (500+) to have to create and maintain pset files for each station.  much easier to drag and drop the files to plot when you need to plot them.  We have print styles set up to generate standardized plots, the only remaining issue is that we have some models that we do not need/want to plot.
