I've finished my drawing in ModelSpace. I have inserted a border block into Paper_Space. In Paper_Space I then add a viewport and select my drawing. This then prints the whole drawing on 1 A4 sheet as expected but with a thin border around my viewport. Is there a way to turn this off?
I see in the help it says "The rectangular border of the viewport is shown if the layer the viewport is on is shown. If the layer the viewport is on is switched off, the border is hidden but the contents of the viewport is still shown. Viewports are typically placed on a dedicated layer (e.g. "viewports") which can be switched off for printing", but I don't understand this. The viewport references my 0 layer, if I turn this off the drawing disappears from my Paper_Space.

Re: Removing viewport borders
1. Create layer called "viewport".
2. Move your viewport to that layer (select viewport, change layer in property editor)
3. Switch off layer "viewport"
If you struggle, please let me know which step.

Re: Removing viewport borders
Ah, I somehow hadn't realise you had to create a separate layer for viewports. I was just creating the viewport in layer 0. Thanks for that.
