Been a long time Lew. We used to chat years ago....... my profile was dropped awhile ago from lack of use. I had to redo my profile so it says I joined in 2016 now... I was a member back in 2004....

Yeah, Lew, I am way past X10, do not use it anymore and only move forward when opening old plans...... Thanks

I appreciate all your help, but you don't have to waste your time with this...... maybe I will figure it out.. I was mainly wondering if this is a common problem elsewhere? Guess not.

No to your last question. I have X12 open on my laptop > open the flash drive and see the files I sent there from my desktop as X10 even though they were X12 files when sent there> I open them in X12 on my laptop > save-as (in X12) > send to a new folder on laptop > then they still show as X10 files! But when I first did it the plan file WAS saved as X12 file, but I can not replicate that again for some reason. The Layout file never converted, however. No both don't.

When I get home in 6 weeks I will try that.......

Oh well, it's past midnight here in Norway, so I am going to deal with it in the morning........ I live in Michigan and I am battling a little jet lag.

What mystifies me is why would the file be sent to the flash drive as X10? It was that way before I even opened it on the laptop.......

Yes, I am not at home . This is the machine I'm working on now. I believe I need to dig deeper into the system folders to see what's going on.........

Another odd thing. When I go to the file management and associate files to this x12 version, it should be grayed out after doing it once, shouldn't it? Every time I go back to it, it remains selectable. Shouldn't it be grayed out after doing it once?

Eric, I was traveling, so I put an X12 plan and layout on my flash drive from my desktop. When I am at a hotel, I placed the said flash drive into my laptop and the files both showed as X10. I went to file management as suggested and associated files to my X12 version. Then I did the following: Opened both plan and layout in X12. I did a save-as for the plan file. Put into another folder on computer. All good. Then did same with layout file.... still shows as X10! Repeated the process with the layout to double check..... now both files are back to X10. I repeated the process after deleting all saved files and both still show as X10 for some reason when I do save-as in X12. I HAD THE PLAN SAVED AS X12, BUT NOW CAN'T REPLICATE IT. IT JUST SHOWS AS X10 IN THE FOLDER I SAVED IT TO UNLIKE THE FIRST TIME.

So I addressed the file management. Opened both plan and layout in X12. I did a save-as for the plan file. Put into another folder on computer. All good. Then did same with layout file.... still shows as X10! Repeated the process with the layout to double check..... now both files are back to X10...... some weird sh@t going on..... oh well its more irritation than anything.

Thanks for the replies!

Thank you, I understand the information you're sharing, but the strange thing is when I open the flash drive and just LOOK at the files without trying to open them, they show as X10. Doesn't seem like that should be happening......

Ahh because it says it right on the files! These were X12 plan files before I sent them to this flash drive, which I opened on my laptop here. I had this happen before when I sent the plans via email to my laptop. They are sent as X12 and arrive as X10 files! Crazy! and frustrating. My laptop has the same X12 version.

I can not find this topic on search. I have the latest X12 plans changing to X10 when I send them to a flash drive or if I email the plan to my laptop which is also running the latest X12. Anyone else experience this? What is going on?

GOT IT THANKS

HOW DO I GET THIS OFF MY CURSOR? X 12.... IT WON'T UNSELECT WHEN I CLICK ON THE TOOL BAR... VERY IRRITATING

yep, that's it. I got it. I was tired and wasn't thinking straight.... so simple.. ha ha. thanks for the replies...

I HAVE A PROJECT I NEED TO FINISH AND I HAVE AN UNKNOWN CAD BOX OVER MY LAYOUT. IT SHOWS UP WHEN SENDING TO PRINT. VERY AGGRAVATING. I CAN'T SELECT OR DELETE IT. ANYONE HAVE THIS HAPPEN OR KNOWS HOW TO DELETE IT? I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO CREATE A NEW LAYOUT...... THANKS

yeah.... I want square cut...... I'm good with the work around but would be nice if it worked correctly.....

making the sub bigger messes up the thickness of the soffit........ I did the edit all with no good result. I did a work around by pulling back the rafters and sistering 2 x 6's onto the rafter and extending them....

Thanks

Thanks Steve

I have trim framing to soffits on, but have these still showing. Any tips how to remove them? GILBERT_CABIN.plan

Is there any way to have CMU's display realistically in 3 D? The material is not doesn't line up realistically with the foundation walls.
