    Plan views to layout

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    Hi All,

    Just started using X11 and sending floor plans for level 1 and level 2 to same layout sheet, but when in Layout, both floors are of the same level, and when I try changing the level on one layout plan, both change, so can't seem to show 2 floor level plans on 1 layout sheet...

    I'm obviously having a senior moment, so can someone out there guide me in the right direction ?

    Chief crashing on new desktop

    in General Q & A

    Hi Mick,

    Thanks for quick response.

    No warning messages. No blue screen. Just black screen on all 3 monitors, then returns to desktop in about 30 secs without computer re-booting.

    Chief has switched off at this stage.  No, wasn't monitoring CPU temp. New box is water-cooled.

    Chief crashing on new desktop

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    Hi All,

    Have had a new desktop built and have been running Chief 10 for a short while.

    Just started ray tracing a new house design, and after about 5 runs, Chief crashes.

    Any thoughts on this ?  Sounds like a hardware issue as no problem with last desktop.

    Would appreciate any feedback before I give my 'puter guy a hard time...

    Hi Jaida,

    Quite a few Chief users in NZ.  Most probably too busy, (including me), due to buoyant construction industry. I made all my own details specific to NZ building standards.  Very laborious, but necessary as american based details don't cut it here.

    There was a compnay in Napier who offered setting up Kiwi detailing.  Hopefully they'll pick up on this.

    Slow mouse

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    Hi All !

    have an interesting hardware issue. My main desktop is in for repair so am using my SP4 as backup. Have connected my Samsung 4K monitor to my SP and all working well. Open Chief and display on monitor. Still good so far. When I open a plan file to work on the cursor has a lag behind the mouse movement when working over the plan file. Same on layout file. Yet, when I open Chief and plan or layout file on the SP.. no problem. All other programs opened on the monitor are fine and don't have this issue. Only Chief. 

    My apologies for waffling on, but it's a bit frustrating. Any thoughts?

    I can't print directly to my HP110 from Chief, and haven't been able to for a few versions.  I have reported it thru Beta and it was acknowledged as an issue but they couldn't track it down.  I can print from PDF to the printer without issue, so I wouldn't say it's a print driver problem.  I can print from other apps to the printer, just not from Chief.  Call me lucky!

    I have same issue here with not being able to print to HP111........Chief reports my plotter as  "0" DPI.............????????

    Did the workaround, print to PDF then to printer works but, would be nice to print straight to plot like my other Pro-CAD programs, can do.

    Seems strange... Have a HP110 myself and can print to A1 roll no problem from Chief. However... it took me a while to get the settings right on the 110 software printing defaults

    Hi Michael,

    Correct. Didn't look at the release notes.  Thanks for the video also. very informative.

    Guess I'd better look at these notes to see what else I'm missing...

    Hi All,

    So, using X9 and the first thing I've come across is that in the cad box specification, the option to move to back, default, bring forward or bring to front has disappeared, and can't seem to make a hot key for it.  Anyone else got this problem?

     

    Cheers,

    Mouse issues

    in General Q & A

    Posted

    Hi All,

    Just got myself a SP4 as out of office computer. Finding it great as a remote computer and cloud-linked to access files which works well. Just set it up with a Samsung UHD monitor,

    MS mouse and keyboard through a docking station and finding my new mouse is sluggish on the monitor when working on Chief., but not sluggish on my SP4 screen.  Other apps are fine, for instance, typing this topic...  just Chief plans.  Any thoughts anyone?
