Also, per all of my content, please let me know if any issues arise...missing materials etc.

This is an architectural block, difficult to place and looks incorrect when blocked. unblock and it will look correct, then snap point to point to the corner of your drywall. In this arch block, is a stretchable bullnose surround fixture. It should be added to your library regardless It was very time consuming to create. Enjoy!. Also included is a custom button for adding this to your toolbar. download here: BATH AND SHOWER ASSEMBLY.calibz toolbar button, right click and save to a directory, then when pacing custom library button in toolbar, search for this image in your directory Picture shows shower assembly in PBR as well as the library button(red arrow)

Thanks KB, I have a ton of reasons I want to annotate in layout at the moment. Restructuring all of my details, updating them with better graphics as I go. Updating them to current and more stringent/detailed requirements. I'm also using 11x17 submitting(preference of main employer), which is a challenge to fit what I need to on a page. It makes this challenge a lot easier and faster when annotating in layout. Frankly, this is a problem in Chief, and a clear one.

Thanks Michael as always, I'll shoot you an email one of these days when I catch up to my workload! always appreciated

This is so aggravating to me. Placed a text arrow on layout sheet x, refreshed and reshaped a layout box on sheet Y...go back to sheet X and all of my arrows are all over the freaking place...so AGGRAVATING!!!!!! Auto tail and head unchecked. I've tried CAD blocking periodically to avoid this. CAD blocks slow down my program drastically. I don't need work-arounds or reasons why I should change my methods..this needs to be FIXED!! No reason an arrow on one sheet should have any relationship to anything on another sheet! EXCLAMATION MARK EXCLAMATION MARK I've lost so many hours on this.

To instill a bit of confidence.... I am NOT licensed, however I have drafted several commercial projects, some were required to be stamped, others were let through without a stamp. Working on one right now that will require a stamp. A lot cheaper to do it and have it stamped if you find the right engineer to work with.

to make a label that automatically numbers sequentially? I've been doing my annotations in layout and though I can get a label to have automatic page numbering pointing to the layout page label, I would like the number of the label to automatically number as well.

Worst case is that you lose that sessions added library item..best practice could be that someone creating a custom library item turns off their sync til days end

My user library is gold to me, I don't sync it with any of my calloborators. I use close to 60 custom buttons that link to items in my user library..touch my library and I'm set back a week or two

Use library can be a challenge. Any change to the library OneDrive will upload and lock the file, than all of the other office machines must download this update . If a machine starts CA before the new user library is synced in OneDrive it will revert back to it's previously synced user library and then if a library item is edited in the machine using the previously synced OneDrive while the other user library is uploading it will rename user library when synced etc... If your team plans on editing the user library it should be announced. It may be a better plan to keep the library off of the cloud and work out a distribution system of updates for the library

Yes, I know the arguments here, its been a conscious effort, and good to note for those curious so thank you. I will continue to work in layout though and hope that this gets fixed, I have my own reasons for wanting to work in layout, it suits me on a number of levels.

I've recently transitioned into doing most of my annotations in layout. I know there are very few people in these forums that do this, it is a preference of mine for my workflow and I find myself pumping out CD's a lot faster with my new methods. That being said their exists a HUGE frustration of mine. When I add an image or PDF to a layout sheet and then drag it around or resize it, for some reason CAD arrows on another sheet bind to the image or PDF and drag as well, screwing up sometimes HOURS of work across multiple different pages. My solution is to CAD block my annotations, but I still forget as this is counter intuitive. Please let me know if their is a fix for this! The text should bind to what it was intended only on the page it was intended to!!

I don't follow?

I'll give it a shot, just make a layer with everything off/locked but text

I've been using century gothic..suppose I can change all of my anno sets..ugh

Called up text support for this, someone I collaborate with has a different screen monitor and whenever he opens my plans and layouts the text gets screwed up, word wrapping occurs, text goes off of the page..very frustrating. Any bright ideas here would help. Tried cad blocking, tried un-checking auto width, no matter what the problem occurs.

Designed this using some modified Ikea dressers and hair pin legs.. thought I'd share. Will stretch appropriately and is offset from the wall per a typical dresser. download here: RABBITTS BLORANGE DRESSER.calibz

You can select your individual Roof planes and rebuild with new rafter specs within their respective dbx. instead of a auto rebuild all. If that doesn't work just post your .plan file and we will take a look

hey kbird, will you upload your version for everyone?

I cant figure out why it looks wrong in one plan, seems to work in others, thank you..ill upload a polished symbol in symbols and content now

i've tried, cant get the 2d to display, and the offset being built into the geometry makes the pbr pickup that sun glitch

The company I work for uses Milgard Style Line windows, so I built a stretchable slider window as close to spec as I could. Problem is that the offset of the symbol is wrong, so it shows up incorrect in plan view as well as picking up exterior sun in PBR. Seems that the entry point of the symbol is offset the opposite way from what I want. See pics. I included the window symbol as well as a symbol of the window as a fixture MILGARD WINDOW AS FIXTURE.calibz MILGARD WINDOW.calibz
