  1. x16. when i export to pdf my fill gets broken up into triangles with a faint white line type. how do i resolve this? you can see it in the darker gray
  2. x16 I created a new layer to quickly show something. it''s called 'cad, delete." i think i copied and renamed an existing layer. it had a wrench so i tried to use the "find" feature to determine which default it was assigned to, but i got a message saying "the selected layers are used in uneditable defaults". it has a wrench, not an S or red plus, and i cant find it in any of my default sets. what is an "uneditable default" vs a system layer?? i dont have this issue with any other wrench/default layers. plan attachedPlayground_Riemco Plan Template X16.plan
  3. x16 yes, i have watched all the videos about this and what ive gleaned is that the plan views are essentially a shortcut. not sure that is reason enough for my coworkers to uproot their current workflow. i was hoping people could provide insight from personal experience as to why or why not using plan views might be worthwhile.
  4. I joined a new office as a drafter and they want me to revamp their plan template and chief standard practices. I am new to chief so I'm learning as I go. Until now, they have not been using saved plan views AT ALL. they just use Floor Levels and manipulate the Active Default Set Control (which is linked to the layer sets too), and they switch them around before sending to layout for each type of drawing. I want to start to use saved plan views since I know it is best practice and feels more organized to me to know how many different drawings I'm working on for each project. But old habits die hard, and since (as far as I understand) the saved plan views are essentially just a shortcut to save a click from the way they were operating before, I don't know how to pitch this new standard operating procedure to the rest of the team. Also, if we do implement saved plan views, should they still be building models in the floor level modelspace? I don't want to tell them the wrong thing and confuse everyone. TLDR: what are the benefits of using saved plan views vs just toggling the different default/layer sets in Floor Levels?
