DRAWZILLA

Kelly, lighten up , everybody is a knucklehead even you and I, Doesn't bother me at all, and kinda fun. Everybody needs to laugh once in a while. That's why I come here. It breaks up my day of sitting in this big man chair thinking intensely all day long. Scott is a breath of fresh air, I really need that fresh air , or my room might just blow up someday.

I use keynotes for separate floors, so at least they are on the same page and someone doesn't have to go searching for them. Same thing for Schedule's, same page

Install X8, you will love it. Great time saver for me

I also see this.

Make sure you get enough money for that one.

Just buy the best processor and video card you can afford.

For actual printing to a plotter ,I use 650 to PDF. Haven't had any complaints. I use Adobe Acrobat, for smaller file size.

Lew, you started that project so long ago, your plans probably need to be in a museum. One question have you been updating those plans with every new version ,or keeping it in 9.5 or whatever you started with . I would hate to go back, in fact I'm not sure I could do it.

Believe it or not He actually gets up that early in the morning, not I.

Where is that guy, is he vacationing again

it's here File/print/drawing sheet setup

Without posting your spec's and plan you are using, it just a guessing game. You can also submit to tech support

Is your page setup in the plan what you want it to be? Did not download your plan

I have that problem all the time and you have to frame that California overbuild manually ,as Chief just won't do it over existing trusses. automatically, been that way for years now. I have also put in requests to T.S. for years.

You could just re-install X1 and see, it won't delete any of your files. You know there will not be any fixes to X1 ever again, maybe upgrade is the only fix. Chief has several ways to buy now, like payments, rent to own.

I would create a second floor, if you don't already have one, and use a railing wall on top for the parapet unless you need to shape that parapet wall with curves then you would use A P-solid for that. There are of course other ways to do it too.

In X8 the scale command does not show when I select it, only the resize command. For me I just grab a corner and drag it most of the time to resize it. But the background stays white for me all the time

Thanks I'll give it a shot

Right now you cannot save a camera view, and copy it, or send it to another plan ,and if you try to copy your template plan the camera views do not come with it.

I have no idea, never owned home suite. ask sales on Monday.

I guess I still don't understand what you are doing.

Did you try the Reset side windows Sorry, I see you did try that.

Don't you use the PDF only for tracing, then turn off when you print? If not then you must change the pdf to have a white background

YES STILL LEARNING MYSELF

I have seen others, that look very good, but at this time I can't. I will send you a note.
