Gang and my new friend "P". I never did hear back from the troll under the bridge. I have it figured out. Some of the door stuff in chief still doesn't work well, like most interior doors I use that have locks have only one lock, not an interior and exterior lock. As I keep saying Chief needs architects to co-ordinate their software NOT software architects. In my way of thinking the word is a misnomer they are programmers not architects and in that lies many of the problems with chief.

Hey I just added you as a friend

You can count me as a friend

I just looked at your info. You do not have any friends, now I know why. The bridge troll has more friends than You.

No it isn't, it is the macro as I stated earlier It works just fine with auto labels. For some reason I'm not making myself clear.

I just spent 30 minutes with support. It worked for Auto but not Specified labels. go figure. I know it must be something I'm doing wrong but we can't figure it out.

I just sent it to Support. I don't know if this is my problem, I have the door label set as [%schedule_number%] macro. When I set to automatic labels the size does change.

Yes I did that resized the hexigon but not the text

Did that no change only schedule text. I want the label larger, but it does not change size

Here is what I have Label is small

Didn't work for me. I want the labels larger than shown. I changed the text size but nothing happened

Thank you. now how do I make the label larger. I got the schedule text the way I want it but not the label

I should know the answer but I forget. What macro do I use to get each door to have a different number in my schedule. Thanks

Bill I can't believe how you like to pick on an old man. I thought just Scott was up to that.

Thanks WICO

Thanks Joe, I just think Doors, Schedules, Slabs, and Stairs are sadly lacking in chief. They don't seem to have the time or don't get it. I think the problem is the difference between software architects and architects.

I have X11 and that is the problem for me. Won't print from X5, or X6. I downloaded pdf995 and it worked just fine. Its time for adobe to get with it.

thanks Scott I changed it to a 3/4" thick temp glass wall. It worked fine to a point as Chief always does. Just not enough features for people doing custom stuff. We need more hardware, need a better way to show hinges. Better door numbering system, etc.

I have been using polyline solids to show butt joint glass. I don't bother with the track. Track is shown on my details. Does anyone have a better way to show it. When I do a camera view the polyline does not show.

Chief support led me to pdf995 it works just fine.

I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM YESTERDAT WITH x5

In PHX it would have to be 11'x. They require 24" on each side of the door. I guess you could use a smaller door. I use 9' as a min. When I was back east 12'x24' was min.

BTW I'm printing from X5

I just attempted to print form Chief to Acrobat Pro XI and nothing happens. Are there settings I'm missing to print from WIN 8.1 to Acrobat Pro. HELP PLEASE.
