"Chief Architect Save as PDF" landing folder issues - please help!
deaconjj replied to deaconjj's topic in General Q & A
Thanks for responding, Rene! If you mean the caproj file thing - no. That was too much of a nightmare and learning curve for me to get over. I collaborate a lot with consultants, and I couldn't understand how to trust that I'd be picking up on the latest plan file or not. and the file sizes are monstrous. thanks! -
"Chief Architect Save as PDF" landing folder issues - please help!
deaconjj replied to deaconjj's topic in General Q & A
anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? -
back in x15, if did "Chief Architect Save as PDF", it would print the file right there in the same folder as the chief file, where it belonged. Same as x16. NOW in x17, the pdf file lands in whatever the last folder i sent a PDF file to --- totally different project folders. This is such a time suck and workflow killer. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Rescheck for Basement Finish…
deaconjj replied to tinadelllic's topic in Building Codes and Compliance
Tinadelllic, I'd like to take you up on your offer - I'd like to know how you managed to get RESCheck to pass (Could you share your REScheck file with me?)... I have a similar conundrum. Kyle is correct, one could always use the prescriptive code and RESCheck would not be required. Unfortunately not all building officials got that memo (or actually read the code which explains why they can't require a RESCheck when the prescriptive code is shown to comply on the plans. My email is John@JohnJonesAIA.com if you are willing to reach out with help - thanks! -
I've been a Chief evangelist for many years, and there are likely dozens of Chief Users out there because of my recommendations. So, probably a stupid question, but does Chief offer any referral rewards/discounts to either the recommender or the buyer these days? I have another friend who's interested, and if I could save them a few bucks, it would be nice. (And the right thing for Chief to do...).

I'm late to the conversation, but wondering if anyone is successfully running Chief on an Ipad Pro with M1 chip? This wouldn't be my main machine, but could be a nice-to-have when traveling, etc.

TeaTime, thanks for giving a clear visual explanation of how linetypes work. That helps! John

Thank you. With everything else improving so much with Chief, this should have been tackled by now...

This one has driven me nuts since forever, but finally to the point where I expect there should be solution. Please see the square footing lines. Is there a way for me to get 4 equal lines, with dashes equally centered, on each side of this square? If not, there should be by now... thanks in advance!

Hi Mick, I did start with Lenovo and continue to look. As Rene pointed out, getting high end graphics into a 2 in 1 seems to be tricky! Best, John
-
Thank you again! My current 2 in 1 is a Lenovo yoga (I think RTX 1050 graphics). It has been the longest lasting most durable laptop I've ever owned over a 20 year period of laptops including a really cool mini Fujitsu back in the day, a Sony Vaio, a Samsung, and an ASUS (that sucker really ran hot!!!). I hope Lenovo comes out with something... I appreciate your feedback!
