My guess is your between a rock and a hard place. Adobe will say it's Chief's problem and Chief may say it's an Adobe problem. In this age of sore customer service you will have luck with Chief but not much with Adobe.

I have problems with X6 and Win 8.1. Adobe won't print I had to go to pdf995 to get X6 to print.

I just had the same problem. quoted Rich and the post was lost on not posted

No they do not. The whole thing is Bogus.

Same here, the new system does not do very well in that regard. About twice a week I have to re-sign-in. Whats up with that?

P, Glad to have you back. I consider you to be a positive contributor. You have much more knowledge than I do. I know this forum is run be Chief, but GEE WIZZ.

You were not banned but Joe was willing to pay us not to answer you and to give you neg points.

You appera to have -3 in red.

Your back we missed you.

Thanks Bill, I just figured out the problem. I was using a template plan from X5. Once again Chief does not always cover updates when a plan is brought from an earlier version. It seem the only way to prevent this is to set up a template plan for each version. I personally find this to be a PITA. I don't know about anyone else. And then there is the Library update problem. Thanks for your input, much appreciated.

I must be missing something. The majority of the doors I use are flush. When I open the DBX I can't seem to find a check box to make both sides of the door the same material. I would love to have someone show me the error of my ways.

P, When you open the Door Defaults from X6 an interior door has a different material on each side I don't have the box checked for different casings on each side. ??????

HM DOOR.pdf I would love to be able to this automatically.

I would like to know how many people would like to see an option for the interior and exterior of a door to be the same. for instance I have very few interior doors with different materials "in and out". I find this to be a PITA, not sure if anyone agrees with me. This appears to be an early decision by ART that has never been looked at for improvement. I seem to one of one who finds these things very frustrating. I'm looking forward to hearing from other people on this subject. Along with this it would be great to have HM jambs as an option, I do use them in some of my custom contemporary homes. And all our Small Commercial T.I. projects.

i would suggest versacad, CA, company. I've been using it since 1983 great for cad. FAST, FAST. FASTEST. Years ago someone had a cad shootout and an Aussie won every year using VCAD.

DOUG, WE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR DOOR CHANGES SINCE VER 9.5. IT TOOK I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY VERSIONS FOR YOU TO ADD A PATIO DOOR, WHICH IMO IS STANDARD IN 99% OF RESIDENCES. THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR DOOR IN THE DBX ISN'T VERY USEFULL. I HAVE NEVER SPECIFIED A DOOR WITH DIFFERENT MATERIALS IN AND OUT MAYBE COLOR ONLY. THERE MUST BE A WAY TO HANDLE THAT. rON

Dan, Where does Chief sit on this? IMO this should already be part of the program. I think we all would like to hear when some of these shortcomings will be addressed. Can I add Hollow metal doors and frames. It would be great to have the ability to shoe a HM frame shape in place of std casings. Just my two cents worth. Ron or as Scott calls me the chromogen

It used to be part of your upgrade, oh well progress is great. I don't remember the price going down when they stopped giving us a manual.

I think you now should be the head of the choir Scott.

When I got rid of my plotter I purchased an Epson WF 7520, it prints up to 13X19 therefore half size of "D" size. Worked great once I realized that the larger paper had to be in bin 1 and the 8.5x11 in bin 2. If you use the larger in bin 2 it jambs. The printer is not great for photos you have to clean the heads every time you want to print a photo. The scanner is very slow but works well. All in all it is great for larger prints.

Great for Her, glad to hear it.

Me TOO. I spent 30 years in NH doing Architecture. (www.raltd.net)

It seems that quite a few people from the old forum have not switched over or have left Chief. For instance our Friend from Portsmouth who always had qreat input. Her postings are sorely missed. Anyone know where these people went.

Larry, Right on. In my case even thought I've had Chief since version 4, I've always used VCAD to finish my projects. I'm slowly trying to more and more in chief and with the complexity of the program these days it is difficult. These discussions are a great help for all. Thanks for your input. Joe is a visionary and from what DSH says a great golfer. Ron

Doug, Storing is an area that should be investigated. I have trouble because I forget that a detail is not in the layout folder. I for one keep hoping that dbx or something will be worked out to help us with this. Ron
