  1. Hello

    I have been a chief user since 2002. Love it. That said. I opened an older plan that i started from 2 versions ago (x10 i believe) and noticed a pleasant surprise. the text on my dimensions has a background fill so if the dimension numbers are over other text or objects, those are blocked by the text background in the dimension. I cannot seem to find this feature to control if it is displayed or not. 

     

    Any help on this?

     

    I am currently on Chief x12. The file the screen shot is from is from x12 but was created in x10.
    Any assistance would be great!! thanks in advance!

  2. I have an existing house that we are making some roof modifications to.

     

    I need my window labels to read as 'EXISTING' - in older versions i could specify labels no issues at all.

     

    chief X11 - the dialog box for windows>labels - all the check boxes and ratio buttons dont do anything. I cannot click on any of them

     

    what am i missing here?

     

    It is set to automatic, and i cannot change the ratio button

  3. I have a question

     

    I need to change my window labels on an addition i am doing

     

    i need the label to be 'EXISTING' and cannot specify the label when i open the window.

     

    All the ratio buttons and check boxes are locked - or cant be clicked on

     

    they are not 'grayed out' they look like you should be able to edit them, but i cannot.

     

    I can still change size and materials but that label feature is completely locked

     

    even if i open a new file to test

     

    please help
