The initial file would be your template file. You can start with an empty file and make all your required layers, layersets, defaults, etc. and then save that out as a new template. If you are changing layersets after that, you are working too hard. Sometimes I will add a layerset if I am sending a unique plan view to layout but changing a layer name or major adjustements to a layerset would be the thing of nightmares. My DD file is a save of the as built but I will make a cad layer by copying my walls to cad lines and then make them dashed. If I move a wall in DD, the dashed lines show up as "wall to be removed". When DD is finished, save as and then start con docs. The layout file gets cleaned up and I change the print size to Arch D and hide a layer that has my title block info for 11x17. What are the unique features between users that you want to preserve?

Overlap of posts, In your case, the Defaults can be saved out and imported as needed. Look at the Export options.

It sounds like you are trying to do something that does not need to be done. Step one, you open your template plan Step two, you create your as built and then save as your DD plan Step 3, someone opens the DD plan. All features of the template plan exist.

To mature a Lien, you foreclose on the property. If you don't do this, the lien dies. (at least in California). The incentive of the Lien is when the owner wants to sell or refinance a property since Liens must be cleared before either of those. Did you look into hiring a collection agency? If the relationship with the client is dead, bring in the closers.

Word.

Thanks. Much cleaner without the pesky business names filling the field.

x13 before the last update. Maybe the latest update made that change.

$40. I think I just burned up more than 40 bucks in time refilling my coffee cup.

Yes, the light on the left is correct after editing the original symbol. The light on the right is the corrected symbol saved out as a new symbol and then brought back in. When I bring is back in, it becomes the bad light.

I made a light and I am lacking Symbol Adjustment knowledge. After I made the symbol and then placed it in a scene, I made several adjustments. Origin position, rotation and light data (including offsets). When I then save that adjusted light out as a new symbol and bring it back into the scene, it is all wonky again. Also, when making symbol adjustments and you set it to be a "light", why no light data at that time? When I originally converted it to a symbol I did not group the objects. Would this be my problem area? EXTERIOR LIGHT ALONE.plan BAD LT.plan

Also, try unchecking "Side Window Docking" and see if that works.

I don't use the child toolbar set up. I prefer the drop down to keep my eyes in one place rather than scanning across the screen. If I change my set up to Child Toolbar, the child tools pop up on the side of the screen as shown. Are you using 2 monitors? It is possible the toolbar is going offscreen.

Some can be found in the GE catalog also.

Very dangerous solution. If I am not designing my drafting around the visible space available how would the computer know where to align text to not create visual overlap? But back to the original question, naming conventions for layers?

For your layer names, do you have something like: "Text, Site Plan" or "Site Plan, Text" I am thinking about a big change as I do a major cleanup of my workflow for X14. One of those would be to better refine layer searching. Currently I use the "Text,Site Plan" arrangement for my layers but I think that is flawed for quick searches. I have so many layers that start with "Text" that there is a time suck in scrolling down to find the one I want. If, with Aldo, I search for "Site" it will only return about 5-10 layers. How do you name your layers?

I have not put it to the test but x14 has a cut list for framing members.
