Thanks . I change it to all on layer set in ALDO . Yay

Hi Team , For some reason

I an unable to select some of the lines as per video . Does anyone know who and how to fix it ? Thanks in advance.

Legend Thanks - I will look into it !!!

I'm having problems when the file comes back from my contractor all of the text boxes are not fully open and I need to double click on them all to open them properly to view . See video . Does anyone have a fix for this ? Thanks in advance !

Hi - Yes I also have this annoying problem with Text Boxes - Normally when they come from a different PC . Is it worth sending a request to CA to fix or do you think they are onto it ?

 

Thanks

Try turning on "Floor Surfaces" in your Camera View Layer Set.

Hello!!!! . I would like to take snap shots of a PDF (part page) copy it into my plan and then save them to my library . I have figured this out and goes well ......except.......... now here is the frustration - When I open another plan and copy the CAD block from my library to the new plan it is blank . Does anyone know why this would be and how to fix it ? . Its also not a layers thing  . Just blank .Thanks in advance !!!!!!!!!! .

How do I turn the sun / shadows off in an overview camera .

 

Thanks ahead

It is an unnecessary step by "Making a CAD Block" of a PDF because background images are programmed to be "IMAGES"  and not CAD blocks. Convert the PDF to a .jpg, .png or some other actual image file type, then add to Library as a backdrop image. If the PDF contains text or CAD detail type graphic data then it should be converted again to an image file format then added to the Library Browser as an image or texture at which time it will become available to future plans as such. Since I am not sure exactly what your purpose is and why you want to save this PDF to your LIbrary Browser I can only then guess as to your purposes as above. PDF files are usually just "Imported" to either plan or layout files for a single use purpose. What exactly is the nature of this PDF you are trying to save and reuse?

Hi David , In NZ we have a prescriptive Building Code with GOVT supplied Compliance Documents that are all in PDF . So I can cut a section of a PDF (as in a window flashing detail) and use it as means of compliance for Building Consent . Be nice to then add them as library details . Easier than snap shooting or cutting every time . Long Story probably a different process then where you come from .

Seems to work fine for me with pdf or jpg.  What version are you using?

Hey Chopsaw ! I'm using the latest . The problem is when I go to use it again in another new plan maybe I have some template issues or settings wrong .

I would like to create library files from pdf snap shots . However when i cad block and add them to my library they are only available on the plan I created them in . Help .

So i take a snap shot , paste it in as an image , cad block it , send to library and like I said they are only available on the plan I created them in . Am i missing something or is this technology not quite there yet  ? .
