I have a demo plan, floor plan and electrical plan using the layer sets. When I send a particular layer set into layout, my other two layers gets updated and changed as well. For instance I sent my electrical plan to layout, so my floor plan and my demo plan changed to electrical plan. I can't seem to figure out which settings to go to turn off the automatic update to all my layers when I mess with one. I did try to check/uncheck "modify all layer sets" in my layer settings, but that didn't work.

Is there a way to make the dimension lines thinner and lighter?
-
@Chopsaw ye it looks exactly like that. I'll contact Tech see what they say. Thanks for the help.
-
@Chopsaw no I didn't touch anything there. I didn't really mess with any settings at all. It just automatically started appearing today. Maybe I pressed some keys to make it look like this, I don't know. I am a windows user. This is my first time using chief on mac, I thought maybe thats how it shows on a mac?
-
@Chopsaw No :((( thats how it looks on my screen
-
@ChopsawYe here's a quick one I just created. Thanks for the help
-
@Chopsaw Ye. I have always used nkba and never had this issue. However I am using the Chief architect interior version. Can that be the reason why its doing that? I always used premier on a windows. Now Im using interiors on a mac. And I dont know how to fix it.
-
@Chopsaw I have my accuracy setting set to fraction of 1/16.
-
Yes. I contacted them. No problem going back and forth between premier and interior. Currently using interior at work and premier at home with same projects. Thanks!!!!

I have the primary units set to '_" but all my dimensions are shown as 15.25 in instead of 15 1/4". I am using chief architect interior x10 on a mac. I can't seem to figure out how to show it like this: 1'-15" or 15 1/4". I tried messing with the default settings but nothing seems to change it.
And when I try to edit the size of the object, shape. It keeps saying measurement is invalid.
-
I currently have chief architect premier x10. The firm that I am starting to work for has chief interiors. Will I be able to open the plans in interiors that I create in premier and vice versa? I can't find information on this matter.
-
so what happens if I use chief architect as an 'autocad' program. Lots of projects I do, I only use cad lines because I don't do the 3D and I like it better that way. Does the anno sets work there too?
-
@Chrisb222 yes, creating multiple separate drawings for one project. Can you please direct me to such videos?
-
I have been using chief for a very long time, but I keep learning new things every time.
When I work on a project I create multiple different plans, such as existing, proposed, construction, electrical. They all have their own layout, or I have all these four plans on one page but when I need to make changes to the proposed, I have to repeat on construction and electrical every single time and it is really annoying. My question is can I work only with one layout and have all these plans drawn on one plan, so when I make changes, it automatically updates on construction and electrical? Or does it mess up the layout like for instance if I hide the electricals for the proposed, it also hides on the 'electrical' page of the layout?
In other words is there an easier way to do this?
-
Thank you all. It makes sense now.
-
I placed this sink by accident, by itself and now I can't delete it. It doesn't select. Is there a list where I can go to to select it there or any other way?
-
@DavidJPotter I guess thats something to put in the suggestion box. Thanks
-
I have x8 and I need to send a file to x7. Is there a way I can do that?
-
Thank you @MarkMc that is also very helpful! Ill try that out as well.
-
@DavidJames so you basically multiple copied the PL vertically and horizontally?
-
@Rosco2017 haha ye, I want to know how thats done, it looks so cool!!
-
OMG How'd you do that @DavidJames ? It looks exactly what I want!
-
-
Thank you for the answer. Thats what I do, I double click on the plan to open it in edit mode, and then I export it, however when I open the autocad file it is empty in the the model window. Its not there, how do I make it show in the autocad?
My layer sets keep changing in my layouts.

I have three layers sets on my plan: dimensioned, furniture, kitchen and bath. Everytime when I change a layer set in my working plan, all the layers change to the one I switched to in my layout. What can I do to stop my layers from changing? I searched the chief web and tried numerous things.
