I have searched this forum with the Title phrase and others looking to find and answer to my question. So I enlisted the help of a interior designer on a project and she has the X 12 version and I have X 9 and I assumed I would be able to import her plans similar to saving CA to an Autocad readable format By choosing to save it as whatever the version Autocad the other user is currently using. I don't see this a an option? Is there a way for me (X 9) to open her files (X12)? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Mark for your answer. It just seemed logical I could pull the exact cabinet, faucet and the shower spray out of a library and show them in a drawing. Hopfully sometime down the road with CA.

Does this solve the criteria for posting?

Hi CA Users, I have X9 and I am trying to import what I feel would be basic Manufacturer's libraries into CA. I do not have SSA and it seems that CA is blocking me from getting anymore library content than what came stock. I am doing more kitchen and Bath design and need the big players like Kohler, American Standard LG. GE. and on and on. I was a Merillat clicked the link and it took me to the CA Library page and basically said I had to have SSA to download their library? WTF? Really! Am I going about this all wrong? I have a handicap customer and I need ADA cabinets to choose from, not the pitiful selection in the Accessible CA library. I sure hope I'm doing something wrong, I could use some experienced help with this Please.

I should've clarified that the plan that opens should be a brand new plan from scratch and it has selected a plan I've already drawn as the default new file plan and I don't see a way around it

Hi, I'm using X8 and when I go to open a new blank file it opens the same plan every time I need to find how to delete this plan from the new blank file tab, so I can start a new plan from scratch. Right now I'm having to delete everything on that plan to start from scratch but when I go to add another floor it wants to add a third floor to the existing plan. So it thinks I've already got a first and second floor when I have erased or deleted everything on the plan. This is very frustrating. So how do I simply open a brand new fresh blank plan?

I live at the Beach. I have been using CA since about "95". Last version was vers. 8 and quite proficient. 2006 dropped out of const. and I am now back in it. I have upgraded to X8 and I am finding the upgraded version problematic as a lot of the features have a different way to go about using them. I sure would like a lesson with someone that can show me some of the current version's changes in how to do what I used to do in minutes and now what takes 5 times the time to do the same operation(s).

I would like some feed back…. on the last version I upgraded to was Version 8. I have been told I get no credit for an upgrade because of how old my last version is. So, I was told that the HD Pro has more features than the old version 8 and if thats true I can settle for that as I am proficient with it. Probably the most concern I would have is with completing roofs, layout and printing. Also I have Room Planner on my IPad and it is not like CA …. are there plans to make it more like CA? I want draw on the IPad in the field as easy as I do in the office. Then one more issue….I moved to a Mac and is the HD Pro well tested to run on a mac? Any thoughts? Hal
