  1. Angular Dimensions behave according to the Temporary Dimension preference settings for minimum pixel display size? In this example, the angular dimensions have the same text style as the auto ext. dimensions. When zooming out they act like a temp layer and the display increases to maintain the minimum pixel display size. This is interesting. Although, from other thread comments Angular Dimensions seem to be unique and on an island in more aspects.
  2. Not sure it is related, but I am fairly certain a couple dimension lines attached to items not actually displayed. (x17) It took a while to figure out. Forgot to look into more after. I'll go back and try to replicate it. Just have to remember what plan and elevation. Maybe something similar is happening?
  3. Thanks for checking on this. That is a good point. Technically, it is maintaining the last requested sort. Funny thing... Paying more attention to the entire layer list, the sort sequence described does not entirely config into A-Z with all Used at the top. For some reason the list restarts alphabetically. Why the need to move them at all when the selection is being made on an unsorted column? I don't think it could be called a 'bug' since it is performing the task. Is this tiny suggestion worth submitting? On the other hand, may be an easy tweak.
  4. Thanks for the reply. So that means, no change at all for you? (other than the clicked action)
  5. Sorting two columns in succession of the Active Layer Display Options gives the viewing results desired. Such as sort layers by Name then sort by Used, shows alphabetical list with all the Used layers at the top. When I click in the display column to display or hide the layer, the entire list shuffles. It could be sorting but what it sorts to is unknown. (also happens when clicking in another column such as lock) Why should the layers shift at all? Do you experience the same results? In the attached example, the layers are sorted and ready as desired. "Cabinets, Labels" layer 'disp' column is clicked to display that layer. The "Cabinets, Labels" is displayed but the layers un-sort and whatever unsorted layer corresponds to the spatial location of the layer ends up being highlighted. (in this case "Material Region")
  6. Great! An additional tip that will help when pasting... The hot-keys for paste and hold are Control + Alt + V. Also for others having difficulties, after pasting, double check out the elevation reference. You still may need to adjust the height depending on the elevation reference for the 4000mm.
  7. See if this starting folder tip helps. Could be similar to your finding that the folder is unrelated to current project.
  8. @Kbird1 is a solid go-to on this subject. Not sure what the current assessment is though.
  9. Update: The beginning folder is tied to the last location an item was imported into a PLAN not layout. And that occurs within the same project or a different project.
  10. I have been importing multiple JPEGs into a layout over course of a recent project. After clicking import bmp, jpeg, png, it brings me to a specific unrelated folder location on my PC. So I have to repeatedly navigate to my intended folder. There is an image that was previous exported to this folder but that export was not done in this session or even recently. Also, the beginning folder is unrelated to "print to pdf" save locations. What determines the starting folder location when importing jpegs? Can it be altered? Interestingly, importing other items such as PDF and Metafile brings to same beginning folder. But a DWG DXF opens a different location. (User/Documents) (Using Project management if that matters) Thanks
  11. Kitchen space can be tricky to convey. We wanted to have show the oven with an open door. Cabinet geniuses here probably already have an operable one but couldn't find one. So here is quick option that may suffice for your needs. Includes a dark 3d solid to cover the door and handle. It is crude and some pretending is required. OvenDoor-open quick solution.calibz
  12. If you find yourself visually searching the library results more often here are a couple tips... 1) Use tile mode. More items fit in 'filter results' panel. 2) Remove names from the tile display. Name of items can be removed in the preference tab. Preferences / appearances / library browser / filter results section. Uncheck 'show names in tile mode'. That will get more results to see. Of course, this works well when you are able to discern the item without the name. (items that include obvious differences) May not work well for selecting a 32" shower pan instead of 36" because they will look similar.
  13. That happened to me too. Make sure the 'filter results' is checked in the settings.
