P.S.  ironically, the macro stopped working because Chief fixed something.  

Do you have a macro that I can insert into a text to reference Plan Cad Details.. for example, i have a foundation detail on Sheet A5.  I want to then reference the detail on another sheet of the layout saying "...see foundation detail on Sheet A5"  but rather than manually typing the sheet number of the detail, it would dynamically update in case the sheet numbering changes....

I am curious as to what folks are doing with their typical detail drawings.

Do you save them within the project's plans?

Do you same them within the project's layout?

Are they on their own file?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of each method....

I created symbols for specialized blocks to use on retaining walls.  There are 3-4 block types i am using depending on the size of wall.  i want to get a count of how much i need for each type of blocks (schedule).

Which is the schedule to use to quantify geometric shapes?

You prepare your plans and insert all your details in a layout.  Get all your call outs correct, then things get added/changed and your page numbering changed.  How do you manage revising all the call outs?  Have you found a way to dynamically link a call out to a detail so that when the page numbering does change, you are not having to hunt for those call outs to manually change.  Can you share your ideas or what you've done to help manage this issue?

Search Fascia Mounted Railings  and you'll find a few threads and test plans to check out....

Thank you for the suggestion.  I also tried drawing a railing adjacent to an invisible wall, seem to work ok.  I will search your suggestion.

Thank you!

Hello CA experts...

what is the best way to model deck railing that has its newel and balusters shown attached to the rim joist.  CA defaults to having the railing in line with the joist and mounted above.

Very nice, thank you.. it required breaking the foundation wall at each location, but the drawing looks much cleaner..  thank you!

That is exactly what i am after....

After creating foundation, i need to modify the created footing in specific areas where higher point loads are anticipated. currently i have just been drawing footing/post. is there a way to modify the footing? if so, could you share how its done?

Thank you in advance.

I have 2 exterior walls that intersect with an interior wall in the garage.  The exterior pony wall appears on the interior side of the wall...Whats the best way to fix this issue?

Here is one i have that i had to place a blank line between to get some text separation

Glenn is that X11 or just your Mac acting up ?

 

The chart on the Right is Rich Text and a border with 6 cad lines.

 

The right is what i have now... text with cad lines...too much to manage... 

How did you add the grid on the rich text?

I wanted a bit more space between lines of text.  the default looks crowded to me...

What i am after is simple.  Just want to be able to control the height of the columns.  the table will have the following sample that i have entered in a simple text box, tab delimited.  i control the column width in the grid, but cant seem to control the row height.

ROW 1   ROW1A   ROW 1B  ROW 1C  ROW 1D

ROW 2   ROW2A   ROW 2B  ROW 2C  ROW 2D

ROW 3   ROW3A   ROW 3B  ROW 3C  ROW 3D

I had hoped to keep things native to the drawing so i dont have to manage an external file.  Pasting an excel seem to paste only an image...

I am on X10

I want to create a simple multi line multi column text with grid lines.  does anyone have a suggestion on how i can control the grid height for each row of text?
