  1. Yes, I found out how to turn it off in preferences. But what do you use it for?
  2. Just curious, does anyone use the Origin Indicator in the Coordinate System? Am I missing anything? I just noticed it popping up in my v17.
  3. Whaaaat? You can learn something everyday on here!
  4. Anyone else having trouble rebuilding framing? Every time I try, I'm crashing.
  5. Yeah, I downloaded the 526.98 Navidia driver, and then was able to copy the changes from the corrupted file and paste them into a backup file, so far so good! At least I didn't have re-draw everything.
  6. Researching this, I came across another user w/ the same problem. Seems I need to download an old version driver from November 526.98. Fingers crossed
  7. How can I find the November driver 526.98? I only see the latest one 528.02 on the Nvidia website.
  8. Does anyone know what would cause this? If I try to revert to a backup file it created the same error. I tried to debug to no avail, is there another way to debug and/or uncorrupt the file?
  9. I reset it to the defaults and it showed up... Kinda strange, where was it? Thanks, Mick!
  10. When I try to import a DWG file, I can't see my DBX, any clues where it might be?
  11. What's the deal w/ wrapping stairs, and why can't I ever get them to miter???
  12. Yeah, I include the detail w/ my plans and I include the headers in my schedules, but when there is a portal frame needed I will just mask over the header in the schedule w/ text and the proper length needed... I was hoping someone had a better get around though.
  13. So, I'm sure most of you are familiar w/ this detail, but how can I get CA to frame the header properly and not just for the size of the opening? Figure R602.10.6.4 - CS-PF.pdf
  14. Is there a way to lock what floor is displayed in the reference display? My referenced display always seems to default to the same current floor I'm on (i.e. 1st floor open w/ 1st floor referenced on top of it). I know how to change it, but happens every time I leave the plan view and come back to it, causing me to manually change it every time. I don't remember the previous versions doing this, is there a way to just lock show the desired referenced plan so that is what it shown every time until I manually change it?
  15. I can't seem to find how to change the dimension tool default to another choice besides the "manual dimension" setting? Probably just me, but I tend to use the "tape measure" a lot more than the others.
  16. Yeah Doug, that's exactly what I meant, I know what it needs to do, just can't figure out how to draw it. I'll probably just cover it w/ a note also. I've attached a screen shot, between the gable (8:12 pitch sloping towards the left) and the shed roof (3:12 pitch sloping towards the rear), Is where I need the cricket.
  17. Does anyone know if it's possible (and how) to slope a roof plane in 2 directions? I need a cricket that slopes toward the left and towards the rear.
  18. Yeah, I've been playing around w/ the background w/ the new version, so I actually had quite a few layers I had to change. Now I know!
  19. Dang... I knew it had to be a setting somewhere, didn't even notice that. Thanks Dermot!
  20. I just noticed the same thing is happening w/ my door casing trim, door shows fine, but no casing in plan view only, shows up in all other views and prints fine same as the windows
  21. Ryan - The foundation walls layer is turned on (my CMU fill was not), but it is happening on all the floors, 1st floor and attic level
  22. I can see them in the referenced floors and they will print, just won't show up in the plan
  23. Yeah Robert, I'm not sure what is going on. If I open my plan or the one I attached they don't show up.
