Also if you don't know it already you can do the stem wall around the perimeter of the garage also. If its going to have one. Just thought I would mention it. Refer back to Micks pictures to see what I'm talking about.

Anyone have some good plans I can copy? I might be able to sell them to a client and not have to do an work!!! HaHaHa

I would like to see that. Can you send a picture? And Joe has a good questions to. I think you got the cat curious!

Ouch! Brutally honest but true.

My new knick name for you is: "Keep IT Live Perry" I like it and I follow it!

My 2 cents if you want it; Been in the construction business as a general contractor for 27 years now. I'm not afraid to share with other professionals the way I do things. I even help my local competitors when they need it. Their is enough work for everyone to share. No reason to be paranoid about someone steeling your Ideas. If anything I think it has help me more then I have helped them at times. The way I look at it the people that steel and are dishonest aren't goanna make it anyway and are really not a competitor. Your lies always catch up with you in the end. Also if the person helping you see's one thing in your plan that helps him to improve his wouldn't you want to help that person anyway that is helping you. You can also choose to send your plan directly to a specific person if the forum if you don't want everyone to see it. Respectfully

I use cheap a cheap mouse that came with the computer and never had an issue.

Ok, thank you

You just lived up to your posted picture

Go to the chief video; Drawing a Walk-In Shower

Last 4 weeks I have been making everything live, adding annotation sets and learning macros. A lot of work but worth the effort. I actually enjoy drawing now because I'm not doing things over and over again. Automatic is the way to go! Lots of thanks to all on this forum.

I don't think CA has any pinning? Maybe this would be a nice feature for a lot of things?

Guy's, If he goes to the layers set dialog box can he look to the what's + out in the "Used" column to see what might be affecting it? I check these when I'm cleaning up a floor plan to save as template Also, maybe their is something on sheet zero of the layout page

These symbols are typical. Can this be done automatically in section views or do I have to alter the blocking?

I grew up in Michigan. Great place to be from! Tell I loaded up the truck an move to Beverly's.

I would personally not want to be able to change the layer just by clicking on another layer because I would be afraid of just doing that accidently. A right click and a drop down box might work well though. Is that what you guys are saying?

Oh my goodness that is so frigging simple! Thank you again Perry!

This would be I first one. Thank you Scott!

I tried to find video on macros and Ruby and have been unsuccessful thus far. If anyone can help me to find a video to explain what Perry is doing here it would help me much. I'm a visual person and sometimes written instruction is hard to figure things out. I do eventually but I'm just slow. Thank you Perry

Do I get a point? I was right and had the post in before you.

In the layer set under window label. I pretty sure

Perry, I love what you did with leaving the sections on the template. Good Idea! Joe & Graham, Both of your ideas worked nicely!!! Also Perry, Thanks for helping me out with my section. Attached is the result of your help. My sections go on the architectural sets. The engineer puts all the specs on structural drawing. Question: In this section I have a lot of text with arrows. I was thinking of blocking the text and putting it in the library and bring it out when I do new sections and then just move around the text where I need it. Also add, delete or change as needed. Is that a dumb idea or is there a better way to save time with this?

As I take sections and elevations I have been changing them to a call out so they are always live. Typically I don't need a callout or camera to direct me to the exterior elevations. I don't know if anyone does that? My question would be: What is the best way to handle the section cameras and the elevation cameras as far them not showing up in the plan? If you turn camera display off then they all go off and I want the section camera display to stay on. Do you think the best way would be to put the section cameras on its own layer? Another question is: What would be your suggestion as far as labeling the elevations (automatic or manual)? I want them to have the scale and the direction. Not left, right, front or back.

Got it all figured!!! Looks clean now Thank You!!!! :)

Ya I figured out that I can move the block after I asked you. The section is looking pretty good then I noticed the patio double slab and the way it penetrates the footing. Any thoughts their? Thanks for your time Perry
