I played around and made this one with p-line solids. With a bit of work I can see how one could really dial it in. Thought I would share it here. MODERN GARAGE DOOR.calibz

Does anyone have a symbol for a garage door similar to this? ( the one I actually need would have the glass panels all the way to one side in a line but you get the idea. ) I have the Chiefware garage door wizard but that won't cut it. Maybe have to create from scratch with p-lone solids?

I have played with the ambient color settings as well as the environment light color but still my raytrace view is coming out with a pink hue compared to the render view which is much closer to the actual libray material. any ideas

I do now- thanks Joe

Thanks Arthur- too easy Joe- I just find it easier to adjust the location of the layout view names via text on the layout page

I like the way most of the layout tools work in X6 but have issue with a couple items- 1- is there a way to set the default for views sent to layout to have the label suppressed? now I have to suppress the label on each layout box individually. 2- in regards to revision tables Generally I want to show the same revision- ie. DESIGN PRELIM 1- on each sheet, with the appropriate information. And then so on for each additional revision. To do this I have been creating the page revision on page 0 and then having the page range be 1-12 ( or whatever the file may consist of) The issue is that if I want to delete or revise any of the existing revisions in the table I have to go to each page and make the change or deletion. Is there a way to access all of the pages for a given revision at once? If not may be a nice feature to have.

I agree- there should be a wa to set the location of the Lining area label and have it stay locked there. ( works for layout boxes)

Probably a simple/stupid issue but I am not getting my roof planes to snap to the intersection points. I checked in preferences and seemed to have the same behaviors checked that produced the proper snapping in the past. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

I think you are on the right track with it- i will talk to my computer gal on Monday and see if i can get rid of the old user completely and make sure that the new user profile has all the proper privileges. Already running X6- just have some plans in X5 that I use. thanks for all the advice.

i guess the other question i have is - should i delete X5 from this user profile and re-install. my eventual goal is to remove the previous user profile from the machine all together one i am certain that i have the new profile complete and stable. ( man- i wish i was better at the computer end of this stuff )

running CA as administrator works - all the libraries are there when i open X5 that way- but will i have t that every time? when i close it down and then reopen through the icon on the task bar i get the same issue. the following error appears for every library folder that is not there when i open X5 in regular mode-[attachmen t=4754:CA SNIP.PNG] is there an issue wit running X% as administrator every time i use it??

I had a problem with my computer and had to create a new user profile on it. I copied everything over from the old profile but some of the bonus libraries and manufacturer libraries didn't come over. ( just some - not all ) when I try import them from the CA website I get the attached error message. any ideas - I am wondering if I should reinstall X5 in this new user profile?

OK- call off the dogs. I found the tab that Robert mentioned and located the appropriate dwg files. then I was able to import them as symbols. Thanks all for your patience and help.-

I am looking all over the Jenn Air site and for the life of me I can't find the CAD AND DESIGN FILES tab that Robert has mentioned

I downloaded the Jenn-Air library from CA for X6 but it is missing some specialty items that I need. The local appliance dealer here wants to remodel the showroom and I need a coffee bar and steam oven. Jenn-Air has a 20-20 library but I can't seem to figure out how to get the symbols into CA in a format that I can use. The file type is listed as SHP. Any suggestions?

I just upgraded to X6 and am having the same issue with the child tools not being to the right of the parent on the same line. Did anyone come up with a way to make that happen as it did in X5 and earlier?

David that was the perfect trick - thank you

I am trying to find a Dacor symbol catalog for use in CA X5. The website seek.autodesk.com has several file types available for download but I am not sure that any are compatible with CA for symbol content. Does anyone have experience in using the file types available from Autodesk or similar in CA? thanks

never mind- just realized there is one for X6 on the catalog download page- looks like I'm upgrading !

After some searching I am guessing that it's not out there- but does anyone know of a Jen-Aire symbol catalog?

that's also the method I have had to use to get pony walls to show the upper and lower materials properly.

I should upgrade- I have SSA so not really a cost issue. Just really busy right now and not ready for the learning curve that will come with the move up. ( I'm sure it's minimal however.) Probably this winter when the snow starts piling up.

just got an email to that effect

you may be right- I'll try it

I am probably missed checking a box in the forum preferences or settings somewhere when the new General Q&A forum started but I no longer get email alerts regarding responses to topics I have started. any ideas? Or maybe this is the clans way of phasing me out of the tribe
