  1. Never liked the door labels because so many times client question why a 26" door and I have to explain it's 2'-6". I don't always use a door schedule and It's misleading and maybe an update for X15 is due. 

  2. I posted about this a number of years ago and there is still no way to uncheck "suppress wall widths" in the dimension DBX setup. If I'm using interior dimensions on my construction drawings why would I want the wall widths to be  off to begin with. This means I have to click on every interior dimension and uncheck it manually every time I create I set of plan. Something a simple as this should take priority over creating 10 more cabinet libraries, I have enough door styles. I have been a CA user since version 3 (1993) and it has come a long way especially for construction drawings.

    My 2 cents

  3. I have been trying to use a panel dishwasher and refrigerator and can not seem to accomplish this. The sub zero panel fridge does not let you let you change the door panel  to match the cabinet door style and neither does the chief dishwasher. Not sure what I'm missing here and help appreciated.

  4. I would not give a discount of more than 5%-10%.  The contractor is not giving 50% off on the repeat houses he sells so why should you? If he decides not to use you and goes to some one else he/she will pay the full price for plans anyway and you didn't work for minimum wage.. The economy is booming so take advantage now keep your prices intact.

  5. Why is it that when we send a drawing to a layout sheet the drawing windows can only be rectangular. We should be able to break the window to modify the shape of the layout box window to exclude certain parts of the drawing. Sounds simple enough right?

  6. Is it possible to see a thumbnail images of the project layout sheets in the project browser window?  So when I'm working on a plan it would be nice to see what sheet I have room on or where I want to put a detail. Most of us work with multiple monitors with the layout on one screen and the plan on another so this is a real treat if it can be done

  7. Just to add to this topic. The layout page macro is done on page "0" and a dilemma I have is when I change from "A" (Architectural) to  "P" for (plumbing) or "M" for (mechanical) I have to create a new text box with solid white fill and set it on top to cover the "A" page number.

    It would be nice to have the macro recognize the page info from the DBX to automatically change the letter designation while still keeping the page number.
