Hmm, didn't find the answer I needed, so I called Tech support. Alex was very helpful....here's the trick; I had a situation in which I was tying in the roof over an addition to the existing roofline. I pulled back the eave at the area in which the addition was being tied in. The gutter at the pulled back roof edge was no longer wanted.... I selected the roof edge and looked and looked until I figured out I was not going to find the answer..... As Gene mentioned, there was a "no molding on selected edge" option that had been available here previously. The gutter polyline is not accessed by selecting the roof edge, but the gutter itself. Once I had selected the gutter along the roof edge in question, I simply opened the object and voila!...my little checkbox thingy was right there waiting for me. Hope this helps somebody.

I'm trying to figure out why, after having set up my default text layer as "floor framing text" or ??, the default arrow layer ends up being "text" with no opportunity to specify layer.

You guys are awesome. Thanks for your input.

....like an e.......

Unfortunately, I believe that just turns the color off, but does not convert the colors to pure black....just greyscale. Of course I just upgraded from X1, so ther very possibly may be something I'm missing......

In X6, is there an easy way, after having populated the layout from my various views with their associated layer attributes(including colors), to convert all views contained in layout to black and white?...(not greyscale) I like the various colors as easy reference, but do not like the greyscale print results. Thanks!
