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.

you can adjust the with of the visual coloum which adjusts the overall size.

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.

export to dwg

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.

probably the DPI you used in X8 you can easily select cant remeber in previous versions

Never seen this before but assume a Win 10 issue. check what your default progaramm exts are set to in win10. or some name like that.

what angles?? the plan is a rectangular building

Stop shouting and go to the hometalk web page as this is for the CA Premier. you will get better answers on Hometalk.

Get him to put a couple of dims and re export and send, you will then be able to work out the scale factor. as a guess one or other of you may be setting units at mm instead of inches in the export/import process.

I have had good results with the Logitech G series, currently using a G400s. It mostly comes down to person preference.

Microsoft files seem to work differently with printers, seems to be a windows thing. never bothered to get to the bottom of it.

Sounds like a plotter problem, If the preview of the PDF shows as red then it should print red if printing in color on any printer / plotter.

Johnny the box with cad written on it lets you select the current cad layer

Have been having odd crashes with X8 which i have not had for 2 or 3 versions. Have not yet been able to pin point a couse, but maybe the computer is getting a little long in the tooth at 3 years or so.

Yes I found this problem the other day also. Had to shut down CA each time, the other work around might be to rename the second file and resend it may be quicker. Am yet to check this with the non beta version.

just a thought, for piping type thing maybe stretch planes??

I dont believe in doing things twice if I can help it. If you learn X1 you will then have to learn X7/X8. go straight to Latest.

Yes I saw that the other day with one elevation only, was in a hurry to get plan set out so just made them all line drawings. Have not had a chance to go back and see what was causing it. I have found the public beta to be way more unstable than the earlier releases, but nothing so far that I can consisantly reproduce to enable a bug report.

If just doing a std save after each window does not keep things going, something would appear to be amiss with your machine or it is a bug. need to send to CA to either prove it is a bug or something else.

Have you tried a programme shutdown and restart?

Ben what is the visual bug I have not seen it anywhere.

Although in the past using a uncommon font has caused problems, check that all the text defaults for layer, style, etc are actually set to chosen font. The layer default is one that usually gets people.

attach a plan please to get more help.

This bug has been confirmed by CA and they are working on it.
