The people in this forum are just a very small portion of the users that use the program.

YIkes!!!!!!!!!

Scott are you using always update or update on demand? Sometimes I find that I have to actually open the view and close again( not always) to get the view correct.

yes we need to be able to have ceil joist going one direction and floor joists going the other. that's how I do a 2nd floor over the existing house leaving the existing ceiling joists. Now I have to fake it with no ceil joists at the existing (but leaving the space for them) and add them to the sections as needed, a bit of a pain but doable. anyone say workarounds, I like um.

Reason I ask is that there was a problem similar to that in early X8 but was fixed. I don't know b/c it doesn't happen to me which leads me to think some setting is wrong somewhere.

Ok Scott, then I guess it can't be done and everyone is out of luck.

Do you have the latest and greatest update for X8?

yep that one is ok.

I always wondered just what the heck that tool did, thanks Glen

I'm simply showing the O.P. what the code is for me. BTW, look at the min 6" winder, it's right there.

Are you talking "auto story pole" dims or just elevation dims?

Thanks Greg, a lot more low profile than mine.

I don't remember where I got that symbol, but it was indeed Scott who created the buzz.

I put all the layers on 1 layer, lock it, then turn on and off as needed so I can trace the walls in Chief. Put them on 1 layer when you import the drawing

here it is

Or you can also just type or copy what you need in a macro, for simple text macro's. I use them a lot. The good thing about text macro's is if you change the macro's text, it changes everywhere you have it in the plan, automatically.

Not sure why b/c they are illegal around here

Can you delete it from "cad block management"

If it's in your user catalog then you or someone else created it, you can just right click on it, and delete it. It's not something in Chief's catalogs, if it was then you or someone changed it. Tip:, you really should name your blocks so you know what they are.

Her is what I have fireplace vent.plan

Alienware, good gaming machines, but not cheap
