Topic: plot reveals dots not apparent on screen

[Kate M]

what is pdmode and what does it do?  Don't mean to be stubborn after asking for help, but I don't like making changes without knowing what I am causing. 

A great attitude for learning, IMHO

my question is how did the leader endpoint get on that layer?  By the very nature of dimensions and the layer defpoints, those dots should have been on defpoints.  Unless they had lost their defpointedness as Bob stated

It's an old bug -- if you turn off an xrefed layer containing leaders, the arrowheads still plot. However, if you freeze the layer instead, they won't plot.

Yes, I froze the layer in the X-ref'd dwg. And thanks Kate! I want to know as much as possible!

For all of you that might have exploded dimensions or lost points flying around, this will remove them.
