    It is so odd my "Notifications & actions" are now broken and lock up. Havent used them in the while.

    I do not think microsoft tested this W10 Creators upgrade....

     

    Just to let you know the Edge may be dead...

    I was just on the phone with Microsoft support yesterday and they were encouraging me to use it and that Is why I thought, why not! Nothing to loose!

    Its appears to run faster than Chrome and definitely Explorer

    the change Defaults Button? ( or Save As Default Button)  ...  should be on the Edit Toolbar if it applies to the Object Selected.

    Anyone know how to get rid of this notifications bar? It appears every time I click on something in the forum. I should not be forced to have the notifications turned on in Chief Architect should I?

    Hi HumbleChief,

     

    Thank you so much.

    I made it! but it leads to my next question.

    What setting would remove the gap as depicted with red line?

    I think Mick is right on the rafter size. If you build framing you can see what needs to be done more clearly. No one can give you a definite answer unless we have your plan file. Its easier to help you when you can send your plan file.

    Entering text into a text box

    This isn't exactly what you're looking for but if you get it all set up to your liking once, you can hold Ctrl to group select it and make it a CAD block which you can then save to your library. If you need to unblock it and adjust any of the text it may get messed up again though. That's how I'd do it.

     

    One I put the text into the Rich Text box it is accurately not bad to make it the way I want it. Its still much quicker than retyping everything. Since I started this thread I have learned a lot about Rich Text and regular text and how to use them.

    The thing I don't understand is why they have two separate boxes. I don't understand why they could have all the options combined in one box?

    I use custom OIP fields for things like this. Often I keep something like this with both options, (N) & (E), somewhere so I only have to delete and set as default for drawing existing, then change and delete set as default for new (or just types since these are shorter than some things I need this for).

    Like attached.

    Problem is the COIP fields are global so still working on that.

    I want to end this thread because my question got answered on a different thread.

    Here is my resolve

    I didn't know that I could make a custom column in the default schedules under "Custom Objects Field"

    Not sure if this was new in X11 but I never seen it before

    I use the Object Information fields to add this kind of information, generally under the Comment section:

    Yes, that is what I'm doing. Just thought I would see if anyone new something I didn't. Thank you for confirming.

    This is the information I like to see

    Is there an option for obscure glass anywhere for the window schedule? Or do I have to add it to comments? What do you guys suggest because most every bathroom window I put in have obscure and tempered glass. I'm surprised CA doesn't have a check box in the same place you check for tempered and egress.

    Help would be much appreciated

    Ok, just a little update; I went ahead and installed windows 10 on my windows 7 computer. I am pleased to report it works with no issues thus far and my copy of Chief Architect X6... no issues!

    Side note, I was able to get Windows 10 for free so that helps.  builtright3 I thought you would appreciate that!

    Awesome!

    If you have a chance for a free upgrade go ahead...Otherwise if Happy with Win7 , what is the rush?  besides you never know what Santa may bring you ....and if not you can always do Win10 Over the holidays :)

     

    Not that Win10 is bad nowadays , but I also think you now need to pay for it , so why not get it with a New Computer at some point....

    Yea, arent they getting ready to put out a new windows again soon?
