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

I use Thea Render

he should, I was looking for his paypal link last night

RodCole pointed out some of the key questions, decide your budget, decide what needs to be illustrated and the level of detail required. Broad range of prices for renderings. Here are a few of mine:

very cool Joe!! I can't remember, can you have more than one cab schedule in a plan?

I have no problem inputting, I'm typically using the seismic, so adjustment factors are very different from wind speed tables. I figured a bit of work would be needed for the end user

good to stay busy! I will likely ping you one of these days, I need to learn more about macros!

I use forte, both contra costa county and alameda county have approved plans without the engineers stamp. I work with mkennedy2000 who has helped me get plan-sets through without an engineer stamp on many occasions. an example set prepped for red-line(missing my forte calcs and has some graphical errors in cross section): 218-09-24 BARNETT-R-0.pdf
