Great idea, I’ll try it.

This is a small text macro that sets my standard notes for the “Text Below Line” in the Callout Labels Specification on my layouts. It checks for key words used in the label and assigns the correct text. This is only the 3rd macro I’ve written, so it’s clumsy. Any suggestions on streamlining will be greatly appreciated. Have several more ideas that I want to work on. I've spend hours going through threads on macros/Rudy and picking up information.

Strip Characters from Automatic Label
5FT-20Designs replied to 5FT-20Designs's topic in General Q & A
Eric, Thank you for the help. I used gsub!. Keith -
I started adding abbreviations to the beginning of my CAD Details, Cameras and Sections in an attempt to keep some sort of order. For example “SC##” are schedules, “DF##” are foundation details and so on. When I send a CAD detail, Camera or Section, I use “slice” to remove the first 6 characters from the name. I would like to eliminate the 6 character limit and search for “- “ to determine how many to strip. This will allow me use any number of characters I need. I’ve tried the following and can get the “index” to return the correct number, but the “slice” doesn’t evaluate. Can this be done as I have above? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Keith

Just finished talking with Tech. If you have multiple moniters, you have to change all of them to 100% scaling, close X14 and reopen. This worked on my system.

Fixture Callout Issue for Dishwashers?
5FT-20Designs replied to 5FT-20Designs's topic in General Q & A
Sorry for not making my question clear. I understand that i can supress the labels and that's what i did on my plan. Why do I need to suppress the labels when my fixture schedule specifies callout only? If I select label & callouts or labels only, the display is correct. But when I select callouts only, the dw label is still visible/ Is this because it is in a cabinet? Other appliances in a cabinet seem to work -
Fixture Callout Issue for Dishwashers?
5FT-20Designs replied to 5FT-20Designs's topic in General Q & A
I want to suppress the label and have just the callout. -
Had a similar issue with X14 Beta that was a bug, were the fixture labels had to be suppressed for callouts to work. This plan is using the default X14 template. The fixture schedule is set to show callouts, everything works except dishwashers. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for help. Keith DW CALLOUT.zip

Pony Walls Cutting Suspended Ceiling
5FT-20Designs replied to 5FT-20Designs's topic in General Q & A
Barton, That's the cure. I knew it had to be something simple. Thanks for the help. Keith -
I am adding several offices in a large room that has a suspended ceiling. The office walls will be 8ft and open above that. Right now I have the walls defined as a pony wall with the lower wall as a Interior-4, 8ft high, and the upper has a blank wall created from air. When I create a camera view, the suspended ceiling is cut from the blank wall going to the full ceiling height. Right now I do not have a roof built so it is easy to see. I've tried a half wall (solid railing) that works except when I add a door, there is no header and the casing goes the full 8ft height. Added a soffit above the door frame does not help, the casing still goes to the top of the wall. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, The ceiling is about 20ft high with the suspended ceiling at 12ft.
