Yep, up down and right work.  Just not left , so strange.  Tried two keyboards, will contact tech support.   Thanks! 

When I select an object, I can move it right with the right arrow key on my keyboard.  But I can't move objects left.  Is there a setting somewhere?  TIA!

Hi, I am in Naples FL.  I am looking for someone to take my CA design and create a stamped permit set for Collier County.  Do you know anyone in the area who can stamp plans? 

 

 

 

Hi Keith, did you find someone? I've completed my architectural set but looking for an engineer for the stamp and seal in Florida, preferably in the SW.

Thanks!  I have my print size at 24x36 and everything is to scale for a permit set so it needs to be that size.

I figured out that Chief will only print one of my fonts per page as a PDF.  (It weirdly prints just fine with a physical printer)

Sheet 1, prints the lighter font and ignores the bolder. 

Sheet 2, prints the bolder font and ignores the lighter.

This also affects my title block, so all of my sheets are looking different.  The print preview always looking perfect.

I've went back again and reloaded my fonts, software up to date, restarted.  Seems like a technical support issue?

To jump in this again, I'm having trouble with some of my fonts printing thicker than what my layout and print preview show in X15.  I got it to print correctly one time for a sheet, but can't seem to get it to do it again.  Have tried different DPIs, reloading my lighter font, exporting as PDF, printing as PDF, printing sheets one by one, color, no color.   

What else can I try or am I missing something?  TIA!

Doh!  Didn't see that - perfect, thanks!

I have figured out renumbering the windows schedule    You need to go back and uncheck all windows for "include in schedule".  Then open them back up in the order you want by clicking back on "include in schedule".  This resets the numbers.  Also went back in to create mulled units through the block feature, which is why my schedule looks different now. 

1) I am unsure why my windows are skipping numbers in my schedule.  Is there a way to fix this?  Or look for hidden windows somewhere?

2) Where can I find these windows blocks so I can use them separate than on the schedule and also to change the line weights?   

I'm using X15 on a mac. 

Thanks!

basically, ideally, you want to ensure you know what scale your plans will be in layout before you start dimensioning or adding text.

 

Once you know that you then pick your default set accordingly. and the way I do that is I change my saved plan views to use the one I want. You have to do it once at the beginning of the project..if what you want does not match the template SPV. I think others just have multiple templates

 

 

but of course, you have to set these all up. Mine are a bit overkill, but I just spent a few hours one day manually doing them all.

 

The other way is after the fact the way you are doing it, or changing the text style to what you want and everything that uses that text style will change. 

 

 

Can you tell me how you are setting up your scale for arrows?  I can't figure out how to make sure they are the same size when plotting at different scales.  Thanks in advance!
