  1. May be simpler solution... Does this work for you? Add "#" after manual text "A-1.". The "#" will tell Chief to auto update the sheet number.
  2. Thanks for explaining this. I've had the case where two windows that were identical except for their muntin patterns were being scheduled as the same, which confused me. As soon as I added the muntin / grid column to my window schedule they scheduled out as separate. Jim
  3. BTW, Pot Line View is not supported for this -- at least in X16. I came across this limitation when I set up a reference view of multiple buildings on a site plan. Maybe it's fixed in X17?
  4. Shane, Steve of Chief Skills has a video that addresses this along with many other good videos:
  5. No problem Larry. Now, I just wonder what the purpose of that layer is? Is it to represent in plan the wall cleanup? Jim
  6. You might be able to get a pretty good representation by using an offset pocket door. I attached a PLAN file so you can take a look at the settings. TEST BYPASS BARN.plan
  7. One option -- you can manually reposition the label. Just grab its little handle (red dot) and place where it has no conflict:
  8. Wouldn't an overlap at jambs and headers (item 2) by itself fulfill the requirement? Don't need to worry about weatherstripping or flashing at all if I read this correctly. I'd think this would be easiest option as overlap is pretty common on sectional doors.
  9. You don't have to use it. Just unselect the file management option and continue on as before...
  10. Chief replied. Looks like they are doing some cleanup and housekeeping. They recommend what Charles suggested above. Jim
  11. Tech support ticket submitted. I'll report back once Chief replies. Jim
  12. Shayne, I see you can schedule out 3D exterior vs 3D interior elevations. This is a window schedule from X17. Is the issue related to this maybe? Jim
  13. Same with bathtubs. No bathtub / faucet combos...
  14. I updated my X17 core catalog just now. Looks like all the sinks with faucets have been deleted or relocated (?). Anybody know where they went? As reference, X16 had 111 results: X17 has 58 results. Looks like sink/faucet combos have disappeared...
  15. Update - there was a big X17 update today. I looked at the change log notes and it appears they corrected this. Nice! Jim
  16. Have you tried outputting using different print driver(s), such as built-in Chief driver? If you get the same result, then you've likely excluded the print driver as the culprit.
  17. You might be able to use a keyboard remapping tool outside of Chief. Windows 11 has it through Power Toys. I have not used it, but you might check it out.
  18. I wasn't at all aware of this requirement. But, makes sense. Learned something today! Thanks, Jim
  19. BTW, you can edit your signature in your account settings:
  20. The last programming I did was a Fortran class at the local JC in (I think) 1985. It's been a while. In case you didn't know, there's a fun Ruby tutorial built in to the Chief Ruby console. Just hit the tutorial button. It happens within the console, so is a lot like interacting with a 1970s terminal hooked up to a mainframe. Anyways, I got up to chapter 15. Give it a try if you haven't yet.
