That was the recommendation from tech support until they fix it. Good advice from Michael, the squeaky wheel as they say.

Tech support confirmed the issue & turned it overt to software development to fix.

Ah Ha! So I forgot to add one more hanger & when I went back to get one more Chief refused. Will report this.

I use the ESC key = [Select Objects] Don't use the SPACE BAR

This is a weird one. If I select a lib item from the icon view, insert it, quit the command, I can not select it again from the icon. I'm sure the video will explain it better. I use the ESC key = [Select Objects] to cancel out of the place LIb command.

In plan view with wall framing displayed and using a north/south wall. Select a stud and the arrow key moves studs relative to the wall coordinate system & not the plan coordinate system. Now this would not be so aggravating IF when you select the stud a coordinate icon would appear letting the user know the coordinate system changed. Is that too much to ask?

Very cool 27/64 worked perfectly. I use Arial & Arial Narrow most of the time. Thanks Michael

Amazing coincidence. Vibs all the way from Alaska! I need a 5/4 for the drawing I'm working on & used BING to do web search.

Found this today, another source for fractions. https://lights0123.com/fractions/

Similar to Michael's, both good alternatives. Keeps the hold down under the column. Thanks

Oh that's a nice idea. Thanks

I think the offset base plate may do the trick. We'll see what the engineer has to say about it.

I did find this which is not a bad idea

This house has 2 spots that need columns that sit on a 10" wide concrete wall, (formed & poured) The 6" square steel columns don't allow much room for the base flange bolts & still have 1.5" cover on the steel. Looking at recessed bolts for this, see attached. But was looking for any other ideas you might have. Not looking to go with wood as it is exposed to the weather. (Austin Texas) That is a somewhat open hallway & open stair area.

Oh, I'll check that tomorrow.

In CAD I exploded blocks & then flattened the drawing, see attached. But because it's a two story the layers are not separated. You might be better off using a pdf. Or have then export one floor at a time (2 CAD files) 843903671_206Monarch-3DModel(3)AB.dwg

This what I see in CAD

I create the attached elevation lines with dimensions and block them so I can paste in all elevation views. But when blocked the dimensions disappear. I have to create them during a Block Edit. Is this normal behavior?

Thanks. I updated the symbol to insert into the wall. (Thanks to Michael)

Shear wall part. I did not see one in the catalog. This is my attempt at making one. Simpson WSW.calibz

Thanks Dermot, I'm always a little confused these days so I'll watch the video again.

Oh darn, I had the wrong item clicked. When I saw Custom -> Demolition in the list I thought I was in the right place. I needed Note->Demolition. I don't think this is the first time this has happened to me. [I'm playing the Old Age card]

This what I see:

See attached plan. The note sch is in the CAD detail "Existing Floor Plan" I did a manual text schedule to move forward. but the Note Schedule is there. Gomez.zip

ok I'll try again tomorrow.
