The reason to put the details on the layout is to resize them to what you need, if you put them in a separate cad detail, you can send them to the layout to scale. When you import cad details there is always some fix up.

GOOD THING I DIDN'T ANSWER

Years ago Chief used to be on an 18 month cycle but changed it to 12 months to get new versions to us quicker, I guess it works better for them. I like it.

You'll need a lot more money too.

just gave you one, if it really means anything

I like the way Chief does it and do not want this kind of change, everyone would need to re-learn it.

You have a great new year too, humor is the best medicine for sure.

Yes, post the plan if you want specific help with the problem

X4 to X8 is a large jump, you should expect some fix up.

Also remember Chief is not a large commercial type software, It's fast for me but I never do those kinds of projects.

Joe's package does a lot more than that.

Not allowed to talk about X9 even if I have it at all, can't answer any questions. As with every new version the program just gets better without question.

I'm not sure that is possible b/c everyone has their own way of naming things depending on where they are, I got that symbol from someone else a long time ago, you can always re-name it.to what works for you. It would certainly be nice to have that, but not sure it will ever happen.

You can also add it to your user lib. and get it whenever you want, but save it from the layout to the lib. so it's scaled correctly.

I used that program a long time ago but I actually like text macro's better b/c if you change the macro, it changes everything in the plan automatically. Pigeonhole doesn't do that.

FYI, I have met and spent a little time with Greg Wells, Pres. of Chief, and he is very passionate and motivated about making Chief the best there is, you don't have to worry about that. Very nice guy and easy to talk to also. He seems to be very hands on. Scott Harris is also very knowledgeable and could teach us all a lesson or two . I was lucky enough to meet a lot of the people at chief and was very impressed with all. I wish everyone could do that,

I know Joe has his own roof macro system setup, and custom roof schedule.

I usually get my butt kicked on a regular basis, by my wife, so I'm used to it. Thank you , may I have another.

I'm not sure you are aware that you just gave yourself -3 points.

sneak peek

Yes Chief has already said this.

looks like an "A" to me.

here is a short video showing how to change the cad block associated with the symbol. http://screencast.com/t/Bw5KuQdAaTWz

after you change the cad block, save it to your lib. to use again and again

yes just change the cad block associated with the switch to whatever you want.
