Since quite a few people use it, I was hoping someone could enlighten me. Is there a way to temporarily display an object's outlines on FPD along with any mounting holes? I checked out outline mode but all it seems to do is give a white background. I was hoping there might be a function that would allow you to define the outline on outline mode, but remove the outline when going back to normal mode. I've had the unfortunate experience of forgetting to delete an object's outline from a design before sending it off and receiving a plate with a big hole where there should only have been a mounting hole and locating tab hole.

What I do is use the engraving tools - lines, circles, etc. If you forget to delete them, you pay more but the chassis just has lines drawn on it and is still usable!

Thanks Paul. I rushed myself one night to get the panel design out and got the surprise.
