Thanks Rob. That's what I was getting at. I was unsure if the line weights would read differently when sent to layout. So, you're telling me it makes no difference how I have the drawing sheet setup? If so, what is the point of it?

Is it possible to make the drawing sheet setup linked to the plan view? I've got a plan view of the entire 1st floor being printed on ARCH D paper at a 3/8" scale. I also need a close-up plan view of the kitchen which will be at 1/2" scale and will require the ANSI B paper size. How is this done? Thanks, Kevin

Thanks Mick. Sorry for the delay. I'm not getting notifications again. I'll give that a try! Kevin

I do most of my work on a desktop at home but when I travel, I must export my custom libraries to my laptop so that I have the most recent version of my User Catalog. I have 21 folders under the User Catalog, and I export them individually as the total library is over 9GB. They exported fine as they always do but this time around the import onto the laptop is taking FOREVER. I usually drag and drop three at a time so as not to overwhelm Chief. The first file named “Untitled 1.calibz” is taking well over 30 minutes to import into my User Catalog and the files size is only 86MB. It did not take nearly as long two weeks ago when I went through the same process. Has something changed in the software? I don’t recall any updates in the last three or four weeks. At this pace it will take several hours to get all 21 library files into Chief on my laptop. Just two weeks ago I was able to accomplish this in under an hour. I have also noticed that the “Import Library Data” dialog box is showing file names that aren’t even included in the solo “Untitled 1.calibz. It’s like Chief is reading all 21 files before importing the one I am currently adding to the User Library. Anyone have any suggestions on what to do? I realize my User Catalog is huge, but Chief has been able to handle it with no problems for years now. Have I reached some type of ceiling? Thanks, Kevin

Thanks! I could have sworn that we used to be able to double click on it!

Are we no longer able to change the stair railing profile? Would someone please take a look at the sample file attached to confirm? Thanks, Kevin stair railing.zip

I didn't even realize you could turn off an entire floor.

This is a basement level. When I turn off the layers one by one I find that the layer "Foundation" turns everything off on this floor. I guess this was the problem.

The plan is too large to post here. I can upload to DB and provide a link.

I may have found another issue with the latest release of X15. I am creating a cross section and want to display “Cabinets, Custom Backsplashes” only so that I can send off for a quote – see attached video. As you can see the screen will not update with a change in the layer’s visibility. On an individual basis there is no problem; however, when I select all layers to turn them all off and then select a couple that I want visible, nothing appears. I've been using this technique for years with no problems. Can anyone confirm this? 14.08.2023_08.05.21_REC.mp4

Thanks Rich. I just PM'ed you with an upload link. Kevin

Eric - is it even possible to go back to the last version of X15? A download somewhere?

IMAGES showing proportion not matching original symbol. I have tried inverting dimensions too.

I tried creating it in plan view (btw - it was drawn in another program before and imported) and it still doesn't work. It becomes oversized. I tried stacking it with other molding profiles and the shape becomes skewed no matter what I enter for width, length, repeat. It did come in oversized the first time and I had to adjust it down. Definitely something off here. I will report this too.

Thanks Eric. I'll give it a try. I would never have thought that would affect it.

Got you! I was out of town this week working from my laptop and just updated my workstation at home. Had I thought about it before updating the workstation this morning, I should have checked the symbol prior to doing so. I'll report back on what Chief has to say...

I am attempting to create a piece of dentil molding. I've model the simple shape at the correct scale (even the dialog window confirms the size is correct). When I go to use the dentil, it comes in WAY oversized as show in the image below. The poly molding line is 24" square and I am only able to show one LARGE repeat of the molding. Admittedly, I can adjust the size in the molding dialog box and change the repeat; however, I am unable to change the depth to 1/4" which is the appropriate depth. I have attached the CALIBZ file too. Is this another glitch since the update? If not, what am I doing wrong? Thanks, Kevin dentil.calibz

Thanks Mick. I updated a day ago and just tried the symbol. It still doesn't work. I just reported it to Chief.

Hey Mick. Sorry for the delay in replying. Here again, I had no idea there was a reply. I think this may be a bug which I will now report. I've been using this model for at least a year with no problems.

Teatime - thanks for the reply. I apologize for the long delay. I was not notified as I usually am that I had a response. It's not Z-fighting as the light strip and control button are offset enough to avoid this.

You can see the glow when the camera is perfectly perpendicular to the symbol but not at glancing angles. Weird, as I've been using this symbol without any issues for over a year.

Ever since updating V15 in the last couple of days, the glow has stopped working on this particular symbol - see images and symbol attached. The "white lighting" on other symbols works okay. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix? Untitled 1.calibz

Jason - I think what you're saying is if I make the layout box much larger than I really need, the image would show up with the correct aspect ratio. That is not what I am seeing. Further this makes it difficult to keep any consistency between each page. I am showing one camera view on each page of an 11" x 17" layout and would like all the camera views in alignment from page to page. Copying and pasting the layout box to a new page provides unreliable results and there is no function to relink a new camera view, so I would have to set up each new layout box from scratch and hope I get it close to the format on the previous page. As this would be so much work, I might as well export each camera out to an image file and use those within the layout box.

Got it. Thanks.
