It's my experience that such items are getting smaller and smaller. I used to have a satellite receiver that was 18"x 10"x3". Now I have one that's 10"x6"x1.25" and another that's 6"x4"x1". IAE, They are basically just little black boxes - easy enough to just use a "Primitive Box" for 3D purposes.

Sharon, I think you misunderstand. Symbols stored in the Library reference Textures in the Textures Folder, not in the download folder. When a Symbol is added to a Plan, that reference to the Texture in the Textures Folder is maintained. When you Backup a Plan (the entire Plan), a copy of the Textures are attached to the Plan so that it can be transferred (copied) to another system. This is the ultimate archive of the Plan. Other than that, there's no problem with just leaving the Symbol in the Library and the Texture in the Texture Folder.

Perry, The Snipping Tool allows you to select other formats for saving. PNG is just the default.

Perry's method works, but in order to actually change the size of the text, you need to use one of the Corner Handles. IAE, there's no need to Block the Text to resize it - unless you want to actually resize in just one direction.

These things are tricky. Most likely the "Thicker Wall" is a result of having a Floor or Ceiling Height difference - but it could be something else.

Todd, You must have changed the "Default" to "Fixed". You could do this in Defaults or you could have simply selected the little wrench on the Edit Toolbar while the Fixed Windows was selected. All of your existing windows were set "Use Default" so when the default was changed - all the existing windows changed to the new default. It's a feature that works with Doors, Windows, Cabinets, etc. If you don't want the existing to change you should group select them and set the type to "Double Hung" instead of "Used Default"

Robert, You only need to move one wall in order to select the room, not all of them.

Move one of the Furred Walls away from the Concrete Wall. This will allow you to select the Room and specify "Exclude from Schedule", after which, you can move the Furred Wall back against the Concrete Wall.

Sure, I do it a lot. Both Read and Write.

OK, here's number 50. I had renamed this one, It was originally SPEO04 Girl in White Dress.calibz

Rent to own? I wasn't aware that there was such a version.

So this morning's Workshop hosted by Scott was very informative - and in some cases contentious - but I think everyone learned a little something. Here's what I now understand: 1. Layer Sets can control all Annotations on an individual Layer basis by specifying the Linestyle, Color & Text Style. a. In the case of Text Style the individual Layers can use a specific Text Style,or the Defauylt Text Style. b. If the Layers specify " Default Text Style" then any Text created on that Layer will use the Current Plan Defaults. c. If a specific Text Style is specified, Then changing that Text Style will modify all Text in the Drawing that uses that Text Style. 2. Annosets specify a set of Defaults which include - in most cases - Layer, Linestyle, Line Weight, Color & Text Style. In the case of Dimensions, there are additional settings and in the case of Rich Text there are fewer. 3. Annosets can also specify the Current Layer Set and the Current CAD Layer - but those to can be set to "Use Active" which will result in no change when that Annoset is selected. 4. There are several options for how to use Annosets, Layer Sets, and Text Styles. Everyone seems to have their own preferences. a. Select the Annoset which in turn selects the CAD Layer and Layer Set b. Select Annoset and Layer Set and CAD Layer independently. c. Let the Layerset control everything and modify Defaults separately d. Some hybrid combination ?????? The general consensus seemed to be that it would be really nice if Layer Sets had the following options: 1. Current CAD Layer (either a specific Layer or "Use Active") 2. Annoset (either a specific Annoset or "Use Active') This would allow the user to set up their system with either Layersets as KING or Annosets as KING. Most of the attendees seem to prefer using the Layerset as KING, but having the option of setting up our systems either way would in the long run satisfy everyone.

For those of you that didn't download all 5 Library Files - there are a total of 50 images - only 10 in each file due to the size limits. Make sure you get all of the images. You can reorganize them in your user library so that their all in a single folder. I uploaded them in five separate files because the Forum only allows a maximum of 10 MB per post.

HI Kay, I don't remember exactly but it was a free download a couple of years ago. I think the images are GIF but they might be PNG.

OK, I manage to upload 5 separate files - see the Symbols Forum

And Finally the last batch People Images 5.calibz

and the 4th batch People Images 4.calibz

Here's the 3rd batch People Images 3.calibz

Here's the 2nd batch People Images 2.calibz

Here's the 1st Batch of 5. Make sure you download each batch to get the complete set. People Images 1.calibz

It turns out the People Images Library is almost 40 MB. I'll have to Break it down into 4-5 Files. Look for them later this evening.

Hey Scott, Do you want some People to add - I've got about 50 in a Library. I'll post it in the Symbols Forum.

The top newel is probably snapping to the balcony newel which is just outside the edge of the stair. Try editing the Balcony Railing end.

Barton, I generally find that the "Light Bleed" is due to fixtures where the Light Source isn't positioned quite right within the Fixture - or it's the wrong type of Light Source. Getting the position, direction and type of light correct takes some experience - and usually a bit of trial and error - but it seems to always fix the problem.

OK, so that will work on a Network (LAN) but probably not for external collaboration on the cloud. What about using it with Dropbox - will that work?
