This doesn’t even exist yet. They are looking for investors for the 80A but the 80 is out now.

Thanks Glenn !!

Thanks Eric. More ways to find answers. I appreciate that. Thanks,

I see now where it adds to the lines styles. Very helpful Michael !! Thank you.

Michael, That's great !! Thank you sir. I'll need to go through and try this, but would save a lot of time to not have to separately annotate all the different lines for what they are. Do you, or would you just save as a personal library item?

Concerns line styles, there are a variety of "canned" styles as we all know, but can these be customized? And example being for Hot Water --------------H/W-------------HW-----------HW----------- But i have a variety of sizes from 1/2" to 4" in a commercial setting and rather that annotate each line separately, it would be nicer to have that "built Into" the line. Is there anyway to customize these?? Thanks,

Thanks Mick !!

Joey, Thanks. I expect it isn't a great use of the money for sure. In this case though, i only actually pay for one of them. Other is paid for (reimbursed) by my employer, but they have no need for it. My thought was that I'm often traveling between my home and family home about 100 miles away, and sometimes i don't plan to be there, or have my computer with me, so having it on two separate computers, given i have the two licenses anyway, would allow me to keep anything I'm working on in the cloud, pull it down to work on it, then put back up. Not really necessary, but with the two, it seemed like a good way to make them more useful.

I have two licenses, with one at X14 and the other at X13. I went to upgrade the X13 to x14 on another computer and although CA was happy to take my $7xx.00, would not allow me to download the X14. I'll have the computers at two different locations and would allow me to avoid taking computer with me, or releasing and reestablishing which I choose not to do.(in case anyone was wondering) Anyone seen this? I know I can call on their left coast hours Monday, but seems that once I pay for the upgrade I should be entitled to actually have that version without having to call them.

That is something many have found out. CA does not like working from cloud files. Needs to be local.

Early on i tried that too with my Leica but found it was too cumbersome for my tastes, although advantage is it already has the drawing done, i simply was trying to move around with too many devices and not always a convenient flat spot to set things down. After a few efforts, i decided the clipboard, pen, Leica and a tape measure was faster for me.. Also, not everything is a simple square room, and sometimes odd walls were too hard to figure out on the fly.

Chris, You are absolutely correct. I have as well. I find that nearly always its something stupid I did that CA didn't understand and did what it could. Garbage in, garbage out.

Sorry Glenn, it was a long time ago. Probably that other guy. lol

Totally agree with this method. Works fine as the sketch gets put into CA and walls are pushed or pulled by dimension and it starts to look correct even when initial sketch floor plan looks like it was done with an Etch-A-Sketch. Take note of wall thickness at doors, easy enough, Windows and door offset from a wall, plus window/door specifics. A few "checks" where possible on any longer distance visibility between walls as a check to others. With a tape measure and my Leica D8 its actually pretty easy.

That would be it Ed. Thanks
