  1. Oh man, I'm old school but I can do without landlines haha. I do the same note for landscape and soffit lighting as well. Less I have to show and soffit lights can be a pain and not attach sometimes.
  2. Hey guys, how many of you still add tv coaxial or the CA Cat 5 symbols for TV locations? In a world where everything is streamed is this something you still add? Or do you add a note like myself stating "Any TV cable locations to be coordinated between homeowner and electrician"?
  3. Is the origin "x" indicator equivalent to placing a drawing at 0,0,0 in AutoCad?. Just curious, and if so how is that helpful to us?
  4. Not my favorite but it don't look too bad. These plans are for a builder I work with and it will be a spec house and he knows what he is doing so I am sure he will make it look good.
  5. Thanks guys, I have to leave the pitch the same as shown. If I do two roof planes butted up to each other the boxed eave won't close I bet but I will add some pics on here once I get it done.
  6. I was thinking of doing the same thing but wondered how the roof framing would generate. Thanks
  7. Is there a way to expose rafters tails on one part of a roof plane and keep the remaining "boxed" as shown? Client wants exposed rafter tails on the porch only.
  8. Yeah, from the very first time I used CA and pulled a leader line with text it was rich text so that's what I used from day one.
  9. What is the main difference with rich text though?
  10. You are right, I had to stretch the box to get it to fit right> Keep in mind, these plans were already completed and delivered months ago. When I opened it today the text was all jacked up.
  11. Ok, so I am not crazy then. Looks like lots of feedback on your thread.
  12. Howdy folks, I am sure some of you have experienced this like I have over the years and I am finally going to ask why it happens. Why does the text in both plan and layout files shift sometimes? I have narrowed it down to two things in common and that is when I have to hold down "control" and zoom in on my pc to make the screen bigger or smaller (different scenarios require that sometimes) or I upgrade to a new computer. I can then open up a set of plans I have already worked on and have to go through and adjust each text and stretch the grip to make it go back to normal and that is very time consuming. Any tips on this (if any of this makes sense to you all)? Example below......... before after
  13. Thanks Gene......I was way off. Funny thing is I was able to go into the room dbx and change the molding names easily.
  14. What are the steps on that? I already tried and had no luck.
  15. This is for a law firm job I am doing so I need to add a room schedule on this drawing because many of the offices will have different finishes.
