That's exactly what I'm looking for. A shame there's nothing for the iPhone. Thanks for the reply, - Michael

Anyone know of an iPhone app where I could simply measure my Chief plans that are in PDF format on my phone? I've searched but haven't found any. There are desktop apps that allow for measuring directly off of a PDF but not for mobile. would be handy

Actually, your advice is comforting knowing that it's normal and the approach is, as you say, work with what I have. I don't mind, so long as I'm not missing something obvious like some hidden checkbox I forgot to check or uncheck.

I often import anno sets from a previous file into one that I am working on. The problem I have is that it seems that the anno sets never import as identical copies from that previous plan. I always have to go through and adjust, either layers that are on but should be off or even a text size, etc... Has anyone else experienced this? That is, the need to tinker with imported anno sets? Shouldn't an imported anno set be identical to the plan is was imported from? I even check, replace duplicate layers and defaults. I realize this would be solved in a perfect world if I used templates or a strict SAM approach, but I'm often starting or going back to plans that I've worked on in the past only to go back to them and realize my anno sets have evolved and hence the need to import a more current annotate set group.

I need help concerning my SAM method approach. The problem I have is with the error "One or more files referenced by this view could not be found" The Layout File is able to reference all of my section views, plan views etc... The problem is my elevation cameras. (Kitchen, bath cabinets) When I double click on a kitchen elevation view in layout I get the above mentioned error message. There doesn't seem to be a way to change or access the view's file path. Or is there? Of course I relink the file, but is there a way to link a specific view on a one by one basis? Up until now I simply delete all of my cabinet wall elevations and resend them. I guess it's not the end of the world, but why does re-linking a file work so well with everything else except these views? thanks in advance...
