This is what I was tying to say in my post but Lew did a better job of explaining it. However, I never used the idea of building a symbol for the site plan. Not something that I'm familiar with but should probably learn about symbols in general and how hey work. Thank you Lew

In these type of situations I will usually separate the site plan from the drawing. In other words; you have a plan file just for the site plan and another plan file for the floor plan, elevations, electrical, sections.....

Is there a way to export or transfer your "Cad Detail Management" list into another plan file that has already been started? I believe I asked this question before and I cant find my post but it would have been for an earlier version anyway. Any help would be appreciated, Thank You

The color is correct but the material type is not. The stairs do not show the 2x6 with the gap. I also noticed that in the stair defaults there is no difference in materials between the interior and exterior stairs (out of the chief box) but they they do have two separate default settings. Just an observation. I always just work around these issues but it would help if Chief improved there stair and deck setup. I'm sure it's not easy to program or it would be better. Not a big deal to me at the present time but it may be to others.

Hello Bob! Just following up; Did you make a purchase? Your decision and input could help others. Thank You!

I have the Disto E7500i and I love it! Great investment.

This is a good question. I know that you can get the patterns by using the auto fill button but I don't see any way of controlling the auto fill to do what you want it to do. I have been just putting the patterns in manually because I don't like the way auto fill works.

That did it. Thank You!

Is there a way to take the finish floor from the framing section so we only see the sub-floor sheeting? You can do it in the camera few but not the sections as far as I can tell.. Thank You

I made that layer when I was going through one of the on line classes. They suggested that I capitalize all my custom layers so I know what I added. I decided I didn't like that and I just add a period to the front of the name so all my added layers are at the top of the list.

I found out that I had to close and reopen the file after I disconnect all the things that were tied to that layer and then I was able to delete it.

I'm pretty sure that this layer did not come in the box and that I must have made it at some point. I want to delete it but I can find where it is connected in my defaults. Is there a way to track it so I can disconnect it and delete this layer? I have looked everywhere I can think of. Any help would be appreciated.

I have the same printer; I found it best for me to print layout to "Chief Architect Save As PDF" an then print on paper from there. You should be able to print it in all the different ways that you talked about though. Usually when I have problems with not printing or printing partial pages it is because my computer isn't properly connecting and/or formatted to the printer. I will usually restart the printer and the plotter and that will straighten it out.

Thats Nice!

Yes, we thought of that but thank you for saying it and looking out for me!

I like it with the read letters, Thanks!

Here is the plan file I altered if you want it test.plan

When I first opened your file this is what it looked like on the first floor. All these walls are different. Here is your second floor

I just made all the walls the same and used the eyedropper to paint the sections I want to be brick. Of course the bottom wall I didn't need to do the pony wall. That was sort of cheating but it seem to have did the trick. For the pony walls to work you have to get your materials and thickness right and you don't have that.

You have three different wall types going on. Its not consistent.

I printed out x11 and 12 so I can re-review them. I probably should have kept the old ones I printed.

Finally I found it!

That doesn't give you the release notes

Where do you get that on with the pro version? I usually print it when It first comes out but I don't know how to get it now.

Thank You Michael
