Use the DefPoints layer to prevent border printing in AutoCAD
After creating viewports in paper space, you probably won't want the viewport borders to print. You could create a VPORT layer, then freeze the VPORT layer to prevent the viewport borders from printing. However, there's an easier way to prevent the borders from printing. Try changing the viewport borders to the DefPoints layer. The DefPoints layer is automatically created with your first dimension. This layer contains the points that define the start and end of the dimension extension lines. The points in the DefPoints layer don't print, and neither do any objects that are changed to that layer. You can see the borders, move them and stretch them, but they don't print--even if you forget to freeze them. Normally, you'd never make DefPoints the current layer. However, you can also use this technique to prevent text from printing. Text typed on the DefPoints layer can be used to mark up revisions that you don't want to print.
