  1. Vector only seems to be an option in how you display library items (furniture. etc.) in the preview panel. Looks like I might be upgrading further....
  2. Well it does have an orthogonal-style elevation view (with an elevation button) - but it treats it like a camera view, which doesn't allow for fixing a scale for printing. It surprised me because the lesser version of the software from 9 years ago included elevations with the scale function and scaled printing.
  3. Thanks - I didn't realize there are multiple forums. And while I mentioned Version 7.09, I also mentioned I had just bought a new version which (presumably?) is a dumbed down version of a newer CA platform. It just seems remarkable to me that the "2015 Suite" version is less capable than the version I bought c.9 years ago. But I'll go to the other forum.... Tony
  4. I've been working on a new house project (for many years) using Version 7.09 of CA, marketed under the Better Homes and Gardens name. A week or two ago, I bought the latest CA Suite (for $99 from the CA website) hoping for newer features and a refreshed library. However, I've found that one feature my old version seems to do better than the new version, is draw elevations to scale. In Version 7.09, I can specify a scale for elevation images, just as with floorplans, and print to that set scale. In the new Suite version, an elevation appears to be treated like an image and loses its scale function. I'm preparing printouts for City review and I've actually had to create the same building in both versions of the software in order to be able to use each version for something that it does better than the other. But the apparent loss of the ability to create printed elevations to a set scale makes the newer version seem fundamentally flawed - unless I'm missing something...? Tony
