  1. yes, that controls the Arrow (green tick arrow) but i want to control the Extension lines beyond the Arrow.
  2. hi, what is the Setting to control the Dimension Line Extension or Marker or End Point (whatever the correct term for it)
  3. what is it that you're trying to accomplish or trying to convey?? what is that you think that a "few bugs"??
  4. You can have a 2008 Mac is will out perform a 2018 PC. Keep an open mind about PC vs Mac.
  5. hi, the Framing Label and the Floor Beam Label, are automatically placed in the "Framing, Labels" layer. because i want the Beam to show, but not its Labels, on my Framing Layer Set is there any way or manually separate those 2 labels on its own layer? like... Framing, Joist Labels Framing, Beam Labels is there any way to control Label layer? like Doors and Windows have its own Labels Layer
  6. just off topic, but another question about Invisible Wall type vs. Room Divider Wall Type why is that the Room Divider Wall Type (single line) keep automatically changing the a Interior 3 1/2" Wall (invisible double line)
  7. YEs, this is what i've been doing. im just asking if there an alternate to this.
  8. YUP!! that and make new wall type with 1/16" Thick on seperate layer, make invisible, and use Continuous LT.
  9. yes, i know that you dont lose the Rm Def. lines. what i meant is that....if it's turned off, theres no Line defn. for the Porch area. yes, you're right. just manually draw Rectangle using CAD Line. thats what i was trying to avoid to have to do.
  10. if you do that (Invisble Wall Layer On). ALL the Room Divider with invisble would show in Plan.
  11. hi, i drawn the Step Landing (Porch) Room with the Invisble wall. if you turn off the Invisible Wall layer, there no room definition. how can i show that Room in plan view with some kind for single line? with having draw in using the CAD Line
  12. hi, i would like to make a button for a certain size for Hinge Door, or all other Door types as of right now, if you want to insert 30" door, you would need to change the Door Width, then insert. or inserted then change the width. is there a method to create a Customize Button in the Toolbar to perform this task. to have multiple preset width.... button for [24"] Door, [28"] Door, [30"] Door, [32"] Door, [36"] Door, then you can select that Door size you'd want to insert.
  13. hi, when you do a Rendering/Ray Trace. Which brain does the processing CPU or the Graphic Card (GPU) Vs.
  14. not sure if you can do that in the CA app, itself. but I too, do that with a shortcut in the File Manager in the OS. then just dbl click to open the file right from the File Manager.
  15. ton of great FREE training / tutorial video that can help you get up and drawing on the Chief's website. thats how i got up and running.....(i meant walking) then they are great tips and help on this forum from many of the awesome members on here. good luck,
  16. thank you! wendy. it you're a new user and just starting on CA (like myself). and jump into the preset Annote Set of CA . you would be totally screwed!!!! the preset is sooooo mesed up the way CA have it. i think this is why we have this thread. people dont have a clue to how and why the way it's set up and can't follow their methodology. and i said....you would have to have a fulll understanding on Layer Sets, Dimension Set, and Text Style Set to fully use Annote Set. to have the CA presets as starting point is horrrrrrible way to start learning about Annote Set, IMO. i have to delete all the CA presets and start fresh with just one Default Set and start learning it from there.
  17. did you change that ad to just "10" instead of X10?? maybe shes thinking that shes acutally getting X10 . that would be an awesome deal then
  18. how much preconceived knowledge you already have of tother topics (Layer Set, Text Style, Dimmension Style, etc) and your company's standard practice( layering color, layrering names) before you would commit to making a Template. can you just OR would you want to just....jump in and whip up 10 annote set. if you're novice a user, unsure of a color or linetype or layer name......
  19. at a minimum, i think Chief should have a 5-10 min Training video on Annote Set alone. to explain the concept and fundamental of it. i'm not sure if they have it in SSA. but defenilyt should be a free training. Wendy;s video on this topic is, again, amazing!! thank you, wendy!
  20. this was my next point. you hitted!!! like i said....i consinder myself an advanced Architectural CAD user, before started using CA. and learning from zero knowledge of it. i have enough skill now (but still learning) to produce a set of design to construction plan. i find that, as a new user CA, and as the subject of this thread.... TEXT, ANNOTATION SET TOO COMPLICATED! up until today, and writing this post.... i did have a good unstanding of Annote Set, but never bother using it. i alway thought that im not getting the full picure on how to use it. and was missing steps or not doing it right. after watching Wendy;s Annote video 1-10. it validated to me that i do know the concept of CA Annot Set. (thanks, wendy for those awesome vid )))
