  1. I got the Dell Alienware since finding an RTX 30xx individually, to build a system, is almost impossible. Price at least as good as building and arrived in 7 days.
  2. Saw this on YouTube today Is supposed to be shown/released this afternoon (the video that is). Looks real and official. ''
  3. Thanks to all for your responses. I've just returned from a trip. There seems to be a question about if/what type of stamp may be needed on the CD's. I'm going by the planning office tomorrow to clarify. Once I get more info I'll get back with each of you that has responded. Again thanks for the quick responses Mike
  4. I'm looking for someone that can take my basic plan and flesh it out into full construction docs. Ideal would be someone that can stamp the plans for the state of Georgia for submission. Thanks Mike
  5. I have the Epson WF-7620, and like chief58 said, works fine and goes to 13x19. Also goes for $200 now at local stores so price is right on.
  6. Remember that on the roof panel of the wall specification dbx you can define two roof pitches. So make the pitch at 2x12 and then the upper pitch as 4x12 - however far into the roof you need. That is if I understand your question.
  7. I have to agree with he general opinion of the users. Even thought I don't use either of these two libs, and most likely will not, at least into the "visible future". I pay for my SSA for 5 years at a time, to maximize my discount, and with that I would expect to continue to have access to all content I had available when I paid my SSA. However, I think we should be provided with a clear articulation as to how CA determines, will determine, what will be a lib for which there will be a future charge.
  8. Thanks for the link. What level of site change (any, tiny, or medium) did you select that gives you a notification of an update to the catalogs page?
  9. A large set of construction related calculators http://www.blocklayer.com/CalculatorDirectory.aspx
  10. I have X7 running on a Surface Pro 4. Seems to work fine. My configuration is the i5 processor, 8 GB ram, and the upgraded video card. Screen is beautiful but pen/touch support in CA X7 is weak. Maybe X8 will do better. To be fair, I just started playing with X7 on the Surface so, my current thoughts may just be a result of lack of knowledge of how X7 is designed to work on a table.
  11. Thanks. Didn't realize all the customizations were in the template plans. Since the FAQ didn't call out the defaults but did talk about the data folder having "encrypted" registration data and not being copied I guess I made an assumption that the defaults, etc were in there and I shouldn't copy it.
  12. I got a MS Surface and want to move all my defaults, custom anno sets, etc to it. I'm using X7. I do not can't instructions in the FAQ, manual, etc for that All I see is for moving catalogs, plans, etc. Is it possible to do, or do I have to manually recreate everything?? Thanks in advance
  13. Check post 14 above But to save you time here is the link - http://www.screencast.com/t/vicroy80XHQ
  14. You can do your SSA for multiple years if you want. CA gives small discounts if you do that.
  15. So what's the point of having the catalog listed on the CA site?? I have to assume most CA users aren't WM dealers.
  16. Worked for me. I'm using IE 11 and it downloaded as soon as I hit the download arrow. I don't have Chief setup for compatibility mode in IE but that might help on your setup.
  17. Site is https://www.woodmode.com/smart/ but the problem is you need to login with a dealer account. Not sure how one gets a dealer account?
  18. You should post this under the Seeking Services section
  19. OK I'll try setting the room to the width of the stairs. That makes sense then why CA displayed them across the full width of the hall. Thanks
  20. #glennw - Thanks. Yes I was using the alt key, or at least i did on several of the tries at getting this to work. Might not have done it when I did the screen capture. Didn't know the right mouse button functions as the alt key. Great tip THANKS. #kbird1 - The hallway was 6' wide. I was only looking to make a standard 3' wide stair. CA made the stairs the full width of the hall after I checked the winders box in the DBX and had the stairs 3' or more wide. If I make the stair width less than 3' then CA displays it correctly, i.e. not the full width of the hallway. Thanks all for the information.
  21. All thanks #JCaffee - I looked at that originally and thought I had done as directed. That is what I was using to try and solve my problem. #KilgoreTrout - Not sure what you mean by "line to arc" idea but I'll research. I'm wondering if it's an issue with using 3 treads (6" min @ the smallest and 11" min @ the widest) and how the building code is programmed into the app. I'll play around more tomorrow.
  22. Just trying to make a simple U shaped stair way. I have a 6' wide hall in which the stairs are to run. Bottom - 3 stairs winding 90 degrees Middle 12 stairs straight up Top 3 stairs winding 90 degrees I did 1 section of 3, slightly angled, then the next section of 12 straight, and then the final section angled - I selected winder in the DBX - And I get this - If I make the stairs less than 3' wide I get this - Neither of the two are correct but I just don't seem to be finding the right solution to this. I know others have complained about the stairs but I just thought this type of thing would be easier. Wasted 2 1/2 hours and it must be something simple I'm missing here?????
  23. Our local LOWES has the Bosh GLM50 that they lend out. You pay $99 and get it back when you return the device.
  24. Yes they are. When I built my new box I put a 250GB EVO as the OS drive. What a difference. I still load most of the other files (like CA Libs, etc.) on the HDD. But even with that I can really notice the difference. Yes Samsung provides a nice set of apps to move the data from the primary drive to the new SSD and to tune the PC setup for the SSD.
