I'm late to the party, just upgrade my computer, use CA daily for my business, solo designer. Just downloaded X17 and I am GOBSMACKED that I can't easily use dropbox as I did before. Like not at all. Why break something that wasn't broken. I have such a good work flow, well organized file system. I access all my PDF's on job sites on my dropbox on my ipad and phone. It autosaved for me. It was great. Now I can't even open my dropbox files as I did before. I have to download each project, what an utter pain in the ass. I have upwards of 12 projects on the go at all times. I am so disappointed in this with Chief. I might be shopping for new software. Maybe its time to go back to Revit.

@ChopsawI don't recall what scale I sent it with. I managed to get it back yesterday and it all worked fine, printed off the pages, saved and carried on. I have just opened the layout this morning and it's right back to where it was yesterday...nothing on the screen and I cannot get it to zoom into the screen. I used to use Vectorworks and it allowed us to bring everything back with one click, I wish this had this or I wish someone knew how to do it. Frustrating.

I have no idea what I did but I managed to get it back....40 minutes later. I would still like to know a proper answer to it.

No luck with those. I am way beyond that but it already saved it. A former program I used had a bring back to centre button if this happened, this is frustrating and I am on a tight deadline! Grrr.

HELP: I sent a site plan to layout, changed the scale and it went off the screen. Now my entire layout pages are gone and I cannot seem to get them to zoom back to normal. Is there a magic key combo to do this?

Thank you for this video! Completely helped me learn something new today!

First post, new user less than 12 mos experience with Chief Architect, using Premier X9 My custom background images are importing in upside down. If I choose to use Edit-Import Background the image imports upside down...every time. If I add it to my Chief Background Library, it adds normal and then when I go to my User Catalog and right click to add New-Background, choose the image and it also comes in upside down. Any help would be great. UPDATE: After fooling around with this for an hour yesterday and an hour this morning, I finally thought to slightly reduce the size of the image and now it no longer rotates upside down. I can't seem to delete the thread.
