  1. your not using a rich text box are you?
  2. what is you snap grid set at and is it on. set it at 1/8" if you want it to pick up those dims.
  3. The update did not do that for me, you can try to reset side windows
  4. Try to put your page templates at the last pages location and it won't mess up your page numbers. Just drag them there. PS, sorry didn't see Jared's post.
  5. I use different template sheets for engineering so the engineer doesn't have to stamp every page.
  6. Here is an oldie but goodie showing text macro's
  7. If you want a note that changes everywhere on the plan use a simple text macro instead, change the macro and everywhere on the plan will be changed.
  8. You had thousands of videos there and were a great contributor to Dave's site. Chieftutor is one of the best places to learn.
  9. I think t.s. is nuts if they feel no one wants a plan note schedule, it's one of the basic items needed for plans, especially when you have plans loaded up with other notes needed like here in California. We all don't need it on every plan but for larger residential plan it's a must.
  10. No change as of yet, but hopefully sometime in the future. I would also like to show property lines and measure to them also outside movable measurements would be nice.. I really haven't seen any updates for room planner lately.
  11. Or you can just adjust your text to be on top with a solid white fill.
  12. Here are a couple of typical live sections, I use sections as a general view, and details of all connections etc. are on the detail pages, and noted on the framing plans. everything is very live all the time but I do use the auto detail tool for the insulation and conc. fill. Auto detail is very easy to redo if needed, just select the line tool and hold down the shift key and select all the cad stuff, delete and hit the auto detail button again, it's back ,in all of 5 seconds.
  13. This is the reason I keep all my sections live, move the footing , the plan changes everywhere. In fact my whole plan is live except for details. No cad details from view for me.
  14. not in California if its a habitable room
  15. And remember some of us mix trusses and stick build all the time to get what we need.
  16. also mirrors will not reflect other mirrors in the room.
  17. Sometimes I save a plan to a different file mistakenly of course, try searching other files on your computer. I have done it several times
  18. I figured, not much of a corner on the photo so it could work for him
  19. never seen anything to do it but you never know. It could be tied to another tool
  20. I just use a thin cabinet Like 4" deep ,in this case, so you can keep your toe kick. Also use a custom countertop. The cabinet schedule will read it wrong so you would have to fix that or don't use dimensions in the schedule. Sink could be a problem though. Some people use a an angle front base cab and check back matches front and place it backwards in the plan
