DRAWZILLA

Yes we are, thanks buddy

Scott, all the "layer painter" does is quickly change an object from one layer to another. You still have layer control of the objects, less clicks. What everyone wants is match property's tool that will change every property of a line. Isn't that really what the layer painter does anyway.

Nice Tommy, maybe they fixed it. I haven't done one of those in a few years.

somehow I remember that the framing has some problems doing those windows, unless framing is not part of your plan.

Did you look in the lib.?

I have a lot of long lost family in Mt. Vernon.

We do have a tool called "layer painter" that works pretty good for that. try it.

You can make one up and save it to the lib. or just pick one in the lib and modify.

DESIGNSYKO, WEST COAST??? It's nice to see another westie, where abouts?

Yes 40 years, and its a very lonely existence, you are it, I was also a builder for many years but it not my thing, too much work and dealing with homeowners and their pets. I've always liked Drawing b/c that's what I studied in College. Yep ,many years of hand drawing. People use to tell me ,I had a good hand, lettering was good. When computers came around, people hated it at first, very generic. So I got this little program called "Squiggle" to make it look hand drawn. I've had several different programs for drawing but so far settled on Chief for its easy learning curve and seemed to work for me better than the others. I had to learn it quick, so I took a few classes and that all it took. I also was very lucky to meet the famous "SCOTT at those classes, we have been friends since. He has saved my a** many times over many years. I now only use Chief.

You have to slam them together go to chieftutor.com and look at the corner window video's by Scott.

Explorer---yes spellcheck

as long as the code requirements are followed, these would be great.

4K already obsolete---wow, it hardly got started

You can also use the "load same" and "select same " tools to do that.

Floor defaults will change existing floors and ceilings.

After 40 years of drawing, I find the most important thing is to save some money for all the "up's and down's" of the business, and not put all your eggs in one basket. Sooner or later even your largest clients might, at any time, go out of business. If that's your only client --,oh oh. Always be honest and never try to hide anything from contractors if they are your client. Their business is a cut-throat business and if you have other competing contractors that you draw for, tell them both the truth, they will find out eventually, anyway you are not anyone's employee. It will just make them more jealous and want to give you more work than the other guy. Always hammer the money!!!! Do not let a client get behind w/ payments, threaten to kill if not

Yes, floor defaults. If you already have a roof, you can delete it or raise the one you already have.

Use your dimensions to move walls, Luke, you won't have to do any Zooming.

With Chief, there's always a way

Is that an automatic bay or manually built bay?

Turn on grid snaps and adjust to ( I use 1/4") or whatever you want. The reference grid is just for show, I turn that off.

are snaps turned on?

I would just love to get my head around hotkeys. just another thing to think about. Maybe when things slow down.
