That is what I have been doing for years, would like to keep it to the live update if possible
-
I will give that a try
I also changed my Drawing Sheet Setup to 1/50 mm which seems to help but I wondered if there was a better way.Never really understood the advanced line weight options. been using a template for 10 years ago.
What do most poeple use for this?

Hello,
Is anyone else finding a difference between the line spacing of Regular Text and Rich Text
All of my blocks with text now do not work now, the text is being pushed below my linesRegular text appears to have more space between the lines now. With my 3/16" annotation there is 4 1/2" between lines now vs 3" before
Thanks for any input,

I have been asking Chief since 2014 to fix there fractions. Was hoping that may have been fixed in X11. But once again they have not done it.
This to me is one of the MOST important items on a set of working drawings. Dimensions! When the fractions are bigger then the main number too much space is used up and I think it looks terrible.
Perhaps someone has a macro or a fix for this that they want to sell?

Thanks Joe

OK thanks

Thanks everyone for your ideas
I checked the line weights which were the same
In the end, it was Adobe PDF. When I tried the Cheif Architect Save to PDF it worked just fine

Yes I am looking for the stacked fractions.
It would just look much better and not take up so much room.

Hello
I was just wondering it is possible to print to a pdf so that all the layers can be turned off or on in the pdf.
This is a print driver that AutoCad has (DWG To PDF.pc3) that makes great pdf's for commercial use. Subs can turn layers on and off to suit there needs.
Thanks

Hello
I was just wondering if it was possible to modify the fraction height (3/4") of the dimensions (see attachments)
AutoCad allows you to reduce the size of the fractions to say half the height. Looks much more professional. Dimensions do not bunch up so much.
Perhaps there is someway to go into the program or through ruby and change this.
Any thoughts on this?
If this is not possible it sure would make for a great addition to the next version of Chief.
Cheers

Hello
I was thinking of getting a new Macbook laptop and installing Chief on it. My not so old windows 8 laptop (1.7 GHz) will not run X6 very well. I also have a windows based main desktop computer.
Are the Chief plan and layout files compatible?
So in other words, can I start a drawing on my Mac laptop and save it and then open it on my windows desktop? Any vise versa.
Thanks for any help
Cheers

Hello
Just wanted to know if anyone knows how we can export Chief layers to a pdf.
I need to be able to turn on and off different layers in the pdf file.
I know it is easy in AutoCad. Everyone says Chief is better. So I would imagine this should be able to be done.
This is an industry standard for pdf's. I get so many drawings from surveyors and Architects that have many pdf layers to turn off and on.
Please, any help would be great.
Thanks

I changed drawing sheet setup to a lower number 1/50 mm
that darkened up the siding and shingles
