  1. turn on the reference layer so that 2 levels are showing and you may spot where a wall ia out of alignment, it may be only a mm or 2 .I see you have a couple of thick walls it may be in that area. It is easy to get that message if you are dragging walls around or just roughing out the second level. There is a wall alignment tool that will line each wall up when you click on it, line up with either above or below depending on the button.
  2. I have had up to 20 plan files referenced to a single layout, normal is about 10 for me
  3. have you tried 60#, not able to try myself at present no CA this machine.
  4. never seen that, maybe a temp dim setting?? try attaching the plan so others can see if they get that.
  5. I gave up with this may versions ago and just use the dwg as a mask to trace over. Find it much quicker and you can put in the correct wall types etc as you go.
  6. I have found that I only get the message if the walls are within maybe 80mm? of alignment normally use 90mm and 140mm walls. So maybe there is a setting somewhere or a discrepancy between metric and inches??
  7. You may have to delete the user catalog and re-install, it may be the only way to remove it.
  8. it will be your printer settings set to fit to page or something, or printer page set wrong. are you printing to printer or pdf??
  9. Id love for x9 to be 90% clean-up of existing tools and processes. X8 was a solid release, but we need more focus on fundamental tools/problems. Johnny Have to totally agree with this
  10. I use a slight variation on steves method. I show the doors with the required number of leaves on the layer doors then I have a cad overlay of the exact configeration on layer doors 02 , then it is quite easy by turning layers on or off to show the desired outcome. HOWEVER THIS IS A WORK-AROUND!! CA needs to give us better doors, and windows for that matter, to allow for all the regional variations.
  11. I have used Foxit editor for years reasonably cheap and has most of the functions of Acrobat.
  12. Firstly rebuild your wall framing to update it. then The removed wall goes away and the exposed studs in the kitchen.
  13. Another thought after rechecking your specs have you tried it with only 1 GPU and 1 screen ? I seem to recall someone having a problem at some stage with SLI configuration. At least you would narrow down the search by trying this
  14. No slowness here with the ellison plan and you can see my computer specs are fairly old. I am running Win 7. possible fixes other than those already offered; it is related to win 10 but unlikely, you have a faulty component within you system, have you done a memory scan? Ramcheck or similar name you have to download the program. I would be looking closely at you system and setting as well as CA settings. Sorry I had no real answer.
  15. I have to agree with Kevin I dont see a problem on my old system.
  16. I do sketches with lazer dims of at least the area adjacent to the area of work plus I run round the outside to get the whole plan. the amount of detail varies with what is to be done in each area.
  17. I have had no problem, however I tend to do a start from scratch every 3 or so years to get rid of legacy stuff from old versions.
  18. printed line weights have to also be adjusted for printer DPI output. This has been the case since CAD started (program irrelevant) when I first started with cad we were lucky if we had a printer that had a better DPI than 180, now I tend to print at 600 or even 1200 using a laser. Therefore the printed linewight in CA is lineweight x print scale (in sheet setup) x drawing scale x DPI. This IMHO is where a lot of confusion reigns.
  19. Check the setting for slab off terrain (or something like that) I usually set mine to zero and then draw the terrain splines or lines to suit relative to the floor level. If you need to adjust the level after you can then use the same setting to adjust everything.
  20. Terminology around the world is an interesting subject.
  21. Sherry they are not actually dimensions as such, even thou they tell you the length of the line. it would be nice to be able to specify inside or outside display for these.
  22. you can adjust the with of the visual coloum which adjusts the overall size.
  23. can you be sure that the icon on desktop refers to the latest install? I had a reinstall and had to place a new shortcut as the old one did not work. R click on the exe file and choose send to desktop as a shortcut. I feel your frustration, is it possible to do a repair installation? as you can with other cad programs. It definitely sounds like an installation problem now. best of luck.
  24. Not sure what outcome you are actually after but the roof planes are at different pitches are they supposed to be the same? by simply making all settings the same I can get the ridge at 45 deg and over corners.
