I have always found the icons to be a pain, so I just turn on the display of file extensions and then don't have a problem.

d dot, The techniques I use have been passed down to me by powers beyond my understanding and are a mystery to myself........blah, blah... In this case I checked the walls on the ground floor and determined that they weren't causing the problem. I then copied and pasted walls between floors and checked the wall hatching and determined that it wasn't the walls or the hatching causing the problem. I checked through the floor settings and couldn't see a problem there. I had an inkling that it was probably a corrupt symbol so it didn't take long to find the culprit. As I deleted each instance of the basin, the wall selection sped up incrementally. When all 4 basins were deleted, things were back to normal. The whole process took about 5+ mins. I wonder if Chief is looking for any support staff? Ah, I just noticed that this forum is autosaving as we type a post. There is another feature missing from this board that I can't find or isn't obvious. With the old board, you could tell who was on line by a colored dot next to their name. I can't find the same thing here.

It's not the wall hatching. It's the 4 basins you have inserted into the base cabinets. I think it is the face count contained in the symbol - over 6000 faces. Use a different basin.

I see that my post #10 was using a small font. I think it was because I accidently clicked on the size button. All other posts should look OK.

Sheeeees, I have already reached my quota for negative votes. I will save it up for tomorrow for d dot.

Joe, If you mean Cut Finish Layers....yes that was checked - no problems.

Lew, I agree with you - again! This feature should be removed - it really has no value. Now...rate this one.

Joe, All working here OK. I can't duplicate your problem.

My cursor arrow IS a solid black filled arrow. Whilst on the subject. One thing that has always bugged me. Why are the Cross Hair preferences on the Edit panel in the Preferences dbx. Surely they belong on the Appearance panel.

Larry, This may help explain how psolids behave: "A vertical polyline solid can be created in a cross section/elevation view in the same manner as in floor plan view. The polyline solid is placed in front of any objects visible in the view. If no objects are behind, the polyline solid is placed one foot in front of the camera." Ah, one other thought. Do you have "Clip to Sides" checked for the camera?

Aren't they wine racks?

You first need to open the correct dbx. Select the symbol. Don't use the Open Object tool on the Edit Toolbar (the open door). Use the Open Symbol tool, which is the one with a pencil and chair on the button - the one to the right of the Open Object button.

Mark, If you want the Polyline Solid to remain on the floor that you draw it on in Cross Section view, use the Polyline Solid tool directly. Don't convert from a Polyline to Polyline Solid.

Mark, It is down on Level 1 floor plan.

David, I think this is incorrect. You don't have to have a Floor Finish - Floor Finish can be zero and you can still have a Floor Structure that will display.

Lew, You are talking a lot of sense.

Thanks Brad, I had found the "first unread" button. I like to right click on it and Open In a New Window which works well. I have seen that View First Unread button at the top of a thread at times, but it seems to have disappeared now!

Ah, Ah. I will answer myself. When you run your cursor over the Multiquote and Quote line, a Delete button becomes available to left. I am sure that wasn't available a while ago.

Thanks Doug, I will try that - I will have to wait until there are some more unread replies though! Any ideas about the "View First Unread" button - I have had it some times, but it seems to have a mind of it's own as to when it will appear - even though there are unread posts in a thread. More...how do I delete one of my posts? PS. I just found a Delete button down the bottom. When I run my cursor to the left of MultiQuote, a Delete button becomes available - I didn't see that before.

When I go to a thread that contains new unread posts, the View First Unread button should be available like on the old board. On this new board, it seems to appear sometimes, but very infrequently, even though there are unread posts in the thread. Any ideas?

Lew, There is a Start New Topic button on the right hand side at the top (and bottom) of each forum's main page. Very similar to the Post New Thread button on the left hand side at the top of each forum's main page on the old board. The new board works pretty well much the same as the old one.

I am just trying to delete a post - but I don't think I can!
