Frequent question: How do I select a Defpoint layer in AutoCAD?

The best way would be to convert the defpoints objects to a printable layer then print to PDF. It is not possible to print/plot anything on the DEFPOINTS layer. That layer is never plottable. If you want to have the items on that layer to print, you will need to move the objects to a different layer before printing.

Subsequently, why can I select my Defpoints layer? After turning off or freezing Layer 0 in an AutoCAD drawing file, objects placed on the Defpoints layer cannot be selected or edited. When Layer 0 is turned on and thawed, objects on the Defpoints layer can be selected and edited again.

Furthermore, how do you plot a Defpoint layer? To turn it on, right-click and column heading and choose Plot. Move objects off the Defpoints layer. If there is a Defpoints layer in the drawing, any objects on that layer will not be plotted. Check the Shade Plot setting in the plot options and change it from As Displayed to Wireframe.

As many you asked, why can I not select a layer in AutoCAD? There might be several causes for this: The desired objects are within a viewport on a layout and the viewport is not active. The layer of the objects are locked. The edit mode of an xref is active.

Also the question is, what is Defpoint layer? The Defpoints Layer is a standard system layer used by AutoCAD and IntelliCAD. When you create dimensions in IntelliCAD or AutoCAD, the dimensioning components such as extension lines, arrowheads, dimension lines, and dimension text are placed on the current layer.
