Nice job Mark, worth a point.

Thanks P.

Does anybody have a symbol for a round vent that attaches to the wall for a direct vent fireplace? You know, about 18" diameter.....

So my Buddy bought his laptops 8 years ago, I suggested he might want to upgrade to something a bit faster. I am looking for recommendations that I can pass on to him. He is looking for a PC laptop with a big screen that is faster than Usane Bolt and will run CA, any recommendations? Thanks Preferably something he can buy off the shelf.

...... I would give it less time.

Thanks Glenn. Yes, I will coordinate the GTM.... and if there are any other Minions other than myself who would like to sit in, they can send me their email at dscotthall@mac.com and I will send them an invite. I plan on having a list of peccadilloes that I am hoping Glenn can answer in about 3.23 seconds per question. I hope this is rapid fire question and answer...... but it won't be, it is never that easy. Attendees to date: Glenn Woodward, DSH, A.L. (The funniest man on this site), The Slab Man, Chopsaw, Ray "The Fireman", Rich (the second funniest man on this site), David Zawadzki, Charles Volz, Larry Hawes, Tom Pehlke, Richard Martin, Adam Gibson, Mo G., Charlie Rea, Isaac Nelson,

I am hoping to make The Great Glenn Woodward responsible for my outcomes.

You can suggest he buy X8.... going backwards does not work, guaranteed.

Glenn, 3AM was my time, I was bowing down to your greatness ...... but how about next Wednesday May 8th at 4 pm my time which I think will be Thursday May 9th at 9AM OZ time... does that work for you?

Ray, I think the only person that can help me would be the Great Glenn Woodward, I am going to put a list together of all of the little peccadilloes that I deal with and run them by Glenn. Glenn, let me know a good time that you would be available next weekend that we can do a GTM, I don't care if it is 3 am my time, whatever works for you. And if anybody else wants to join in, they will be welcome.

I am sick and tired of of trying to guess if it is a my problem or CA's problem.... just venting.... I am getting very tired of this crap.... I wish there was come consistency... it is not only one issue, it is issue after issue.... I am just tired of this crap.

I remember when I was in the third grade here in the Great Ole USA and my teacher was explaining the USA would be going to the Metric System soon..... and that was 45 years ago, I am still waiting.

Mark, I could not follow your post, if you want, call me 619-200-1623 and I will do a 5 minute GTM to check with you. (faster this way for me).

Yep, thanks Larry and Scott, that is a good one.

I hear you Michael, but this would be a great tool. I think this is a tool that can be used for many different functions. This tool could be used for all sorts of tile layouts, whether floor, wall or ceiling tiles. I watched your vid..... and I love your vids, you do things I had not thought of, but it was slow and laborious watching what you had to do... and it was still not 3D. There is a CA member who comments on what a great idea some of the suggestions are, I just wish that same person would recognize the value of this tool, let us know what a great idea it is, and let us know he is passing it on to the development team. Please CA, consider putting this tool in our palette, as Elvis would say: "Thank you, Thank you very much".

Thanks guys. I appreciate the info.

Heres's the poop. You built a deck around the second floor and those walls are defined as non room def. Auto dimensions will not dimension to the walls because of the surrounding deck... I know, a nuisance.... but here is a work around.... select a deck wall, define as non room def., now do your auto dimensions, and then redefine the deck wall as room def.

Can I export a LAYOUT that has a PLAN FILE in it and have the layers of the PLAN FILE show up on different layers? I do not think so... am I correct? I can export a PLAN FILE to dxf and have the all of the layers, that is good.... but my clients wants to export the LAYOUT FILE with the PLAN FILE to dxf so he can open in ACAD and see both the LAYOUT and the PLAN FILE? How do you guys do this? Do you export the PLAN FILE separately from the LAYOUT FILE , and then in ACAD, put the plan file into the layout file? BTW, I can export dwg files, but do I have the option to export dxf files? I do not understand the difference. My client would prefer dxf files instead of the dwg files.

This post is so funny. Darn right it is about the dollar bill....,, If it wasn't, you wouldn't be complaining. What I don't understand is what is wrong with trying to make an extra buck...... CA isn't here as a charitable organization. They are here to make a buck and to give their employees a few bucks.

Thanks for the vid Glenn. I have never experienced this (in a long time) except for a recent project. I hope CA can get to the bottom of this and figure out a way to prevent this from happening again.

I have not looked at your plan, I did want to let you know I have experienced that too on a recent plan. I have not figured it out.

Nocturnal proclivities? Inquiring minds ....

Yes, I understand what you are saying, Rich must of used a workaround of some sort..... this is not a slam dunk using CA's available tools, Hey Rich, how did you do this? To summarize, Rich was able to create a "BEND/ANGLE" in the bottom of the window. In the top of the window it is easy peasy, but in the bottom it is not so easy. Good job Rich.

I did get the vid posted, I think you guys can figure out the limitations that CA has imposed on us.... it's all about not having the OFFSET option for the bottom of window whereas we do have the OFFSET for the top of the window. BTW, lest I be reminded to send this into CA as a suggestion, I did send this in several years ago. If you guys think this is important, maybe you can also send this in as a suggestion.

I guess the easy peasy comment was directed at me, I did post a pic in post #11 showing the dbx I used to get the job done, but if that was not enough info, here is a vid. https://youtu.be/BNV0q6rp6T8 One of the reasons I do fewer videos, it seems to be a crapshoot whether is gets posted
