  1. So, what I know about "Plan Check" is that it appears that you cant edit it, you just use it as is. I like to run it when I think I'm done with a plan and it picks up things that I may have left out or over looked. It is actually can be pretty handy.
  2. This was done with a ceiling plane but you need to not have it as a railing wall under the stairs and it seems like your dimensions area a little off. Hope this helps.
  3. If you post the plan I'm sure someone can help you. Have you tried using a ceiling plane?
  4. You would think that you would have to have a character in the text box with spacing in between. That's really strange to me. I mean the text didn't even show a space or separation anywhere. Also I was able to duplicate the problem as you did
  5. I went to the bottom of the street name text box and back spaced to the text and that did the trick. Thank You!!!
  6. I even put it all in one line and It doesn't come out right
  7. One is my layout and one is a new layout from CA. Bothe entered exactly the same and I cut and paste the macros into a rich text box for both. Single line spacing is set
  8. Im not having the problem on a new layout. Only my layout that I have been using for several years. I rebuilt all the macros and otherwise doing the same thing as far as I can tell
  9. Yes I saw that but Im still having the problem
  10. For some reason the client information has a space in between the address and phone number. I never had an issue with this until X11 that I know of. Anyone know what's happening here or experience the same problem? Thanks in advance I will call Tech support if no one can help me.
  11. OK, I see the difference. Thank You
  12. I'm not quite sure I understand. Why do you need the additional layers? Am I miss understanding your question? I'm not having a problem with the post not lining up.
  13. Uncheck "Show All Layers" in settings
  14. Wow! That's pretty powerful. I can see where that could help me find things easier.
  15. Chop, I never figured a way that the used column could help me. Haven't really found a purpose or it. How do you use it?
  16. I agree but it why do they have to hide it in plain sight! LOL Its like when I send my son out to the garage and tell him to get a tool for me and he comes back and says he can find it. I then tell him to go back out there and just look at what is in front of you and he come's back in and says, yea it was just sitting on the bench right there in front of me. It's funny how we tend to look to hard sometimes when all along its right in front of us the whole time. Appreciate you my friend!
  17. Got it, thank you
  18. I'm learning this stuff myself right now but I was under the impression that if you turn off those layers that are effecting the speed while you are working it will speed things up a bit. True, not true?
  19. Here is a video. It talks about adjusting the ceiling height at the beginning of it. https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/watch/69/ceiling-basics.html?playlist=96
  20. Yes, you were the reason I purchased mine. Thank You! Good Advice!
  21. I agree and do the same thing. Its been at least a year since I have been asked for a wet stamp or signature. Thanks for the Tip!
  22. I agree. Send the PDF's out even if it is to the printer company for the contractors and let them pick them up and pay for them. I only print for the required city plans to get them approved and for my employees to use on the site of the jobs we are on. I'm also charging for almost every print that goes out otherwise this doesn't work and the printer wont pay for itself. Also you should be charging the client for all the printing on top of your fee. Printing adds up to a lot of money. I understand where your coming from with sending the prints out but this new printer is a huge improvement from the 100 and 110 printers. I'm not trying to talk you into anything just wanted to give you and others an update of how much better and more efficient this printer is. Here Is a short video I did so you can see what I'm talking about. https://www.dropbox.com/s/fzpmwe8yaueknx4/2019-05-18 06.44.40.mp4?dl=0
  23. I owned the HP design 110 plus for several years and loved it! I recently purchased the Design jet T520-24 (attachment below) on amazon a few months ago and I am very happy with it. In six months after the purchase of it and all the expenses of paper and ink it will pay for itself already. I used to just print very little on my old printer because I was afraid of over using it and wearing it out. So I would take my big sets of plans down to get them copied at the print shop. But my friend that works on printers said that these HP printers are almost bullet proof and they are built to print high volumes. I don't worry about it any more I print everything and it takes about 35 seconds to print each page and that fine. Its a roll feed so you don't have to keep feeding it. And also the T520 Is really easy load the paper. Its like a 110% improvement over the 100 plus. After unboxing the printer it only took me about 30min and I had it set up and I was printing my first page. Very easy to setup. I chose not to use the stand because I don't have a lot of room so I just have it sitting on a cabinet. The size of the printer is 40" wide x 20" deep and 11" tall.
