Hide the "collapsed region" lines when printing a Mathcad report?

Is there an option that would allow to hide the unsightly "Collapsed Region" lines when printing a report from Mathcad?

Haven't found one and now have to fit the collapsed regions on their own pages which can then be removed from the printout. Was hoping for something less cumbersome.

Maybe the lines show as deletable images if exporting to Word? But would rather avoid the Word editing step if at all possible, and go directly to PDF.

Thank you.

Once the collapsed region lines and icons are turned off for printing, is there a way to turn them back on globally so the collapsed regions can be located in the file?

Not knowing how to do that, I printed a version of the file with the lines so I can find these regions again later.

As the lines extend all the way across the file, I can also find them with a selection box on the empty sheets on the right hand side, but again, not the most efficient way.

Thank you.

Laurent,


You can't turn them back on globally, but if you drag across the worksheet, you'll see dotted lines where the areas are. Here's a screenshot of a hidden area, that I dragged across. You can only see the dotted lines while you drag.

This works for MathCAD 15, but how do you do this in MathCAD Prime 2?

I found mention about this here in this blog: http://blogs.ptc.com/2012/01/13/collapsible-areas-a-mathcad-prime-2-0-feature-we-dont-want-to-conceal/

"You can also choose to print with or without the Areas. Collapsed Areas appear as gray lines."

but so far have not found how to activate this option when printing.

Thanks VladimirN - I had read that blog earlier. I suppose this is one of those features in MathCAD 15 that the developers didn't think us average users really wanted.
