thanks for the info Joe, guess it's time to learn more about macros

I like the new multiline label capabilities with X8, when I label beams, is there any way to center justify the text?

Another update, anything that requires the software to visually update the graphics based on cursor position, like drawing a cad box, will show a slight lag, it seems to me that with the speed of todays computers that Chief's routine for updating based on cursor position may need some t

An update on my slow as molasses problem, i thought to my self what slows the cursor down when i go from menus to drawing area so I turned off cursor coordinate tracking and crosshair, seems to have substantially reduced lag

So I have a 40" 4K tv running on a GTX970 card - it looks beautiful but when i try to select and draw in chief, the mouse is like dragging through molasses. i upgrade to a 10,000 DPI mouse and cranked up the dpi to compensate for the shear number of pixels to traverse and still seems like molasses, it only seems to be Chief, I run Fusion 360 and don't have the same issue nor in just standard windows programs, I even noticed that the lag seems to ga away when i am over toolbars in Chief, so just seems to be the drawing environment/area. has anybody else experienced this on higher resolution monitors?

Is there a way to renumber the number tag/field for framing members?

I am currently running X7 on a Surface Pro 3 I7 8Gig and it runs great.

BIll, why exactly do you not use the stylus, is it because of lack of mouse button functionality?

I usually place a polyline profile on top which shows up in plan view
