  1. Yea Joe. I realize that but just really didn't like the way the cabinet doors look which is why I made my own. BTW, not hard to make as you probably know.
  2. I have a symbol that I made just for doing this back with X1. Cabinet doors can be used but I feel my symbol looks more like it. If interested in it, send me an email at my email address below. BTW, it can be stretched in both directions.
  3. This is what I did when I got my laptop new and solved all my problems I was have with elevations and sending them to layout.
  4. I'm not sure if this will help or help with finding an answer, but once rich text is placed, as far as I know, to change the style or anything else concerning the text of rich text, you have to open the rich text box , select the text (or highlight the text), then change it. You don't have to do this using standard text. All text from a DWG will always be rich text (at least in my experience with DWGs).
  5. I had the baseboards like that show up for me in a similar situation. I just removed the baseboards and drew them manually around the room using a molding polyline. Maybe took a little longer but worked.
  6. No I don't have Home Pro but I just need to look at the program and see what the limitations are. I know some of them.
  7. Perry, if your talking to me, I just don't ever use a Beta Version for actual work. It's a personal policy.
  8. I posted this thread before I downloaded this version in hopes of people posting "known bugs". I was afraid that many people would post things that are actually user errors and not bugs which was done. When you combine the posts that are user errors and the replies for those, then there are a lot of un-necessary post here (for what I intended). I wish I could delete any post that is user error but I can't. I still haven't used this version for an actual plan for a client but plan to next week or this weekend because the final release seemed to fix the major problem I was concerned about. All new bugs I've seen since the release can be dealt with IMO.
  9. Harry, I sent you 7 emails with a lot of libraries I had. I have more.
  10. The only way I would do it is to rename the revised PDF then send that to the layout.
  11. Harry, I'll look on my backup and see what I have. I have an old email for you...don't know if it changed. harrythebuilder@yahoo.com
  12. The room divider turns into an invisible Interior 4 wall when you change the structural properties on either side of the room divider. So just place an interior 4 wall and make it invisible.
  13. Also, try moving the angle of the camera a little and see if that helps.
  14. This just happened to me after opening X8 first. Very annoying.
  15. Thank you for the heads up on this function change.
  16. I see this too every now and then. Go to the Windows Task Manager and shut down the program. Sometimes it will still do it but it helps me every time to then start the program and Run As Administrator.
  17. Small request. If your problem was due to user error, then could you please remove your post? Just trying to get people to place bugs with the program for V8. Thanks,
  18. If anyone knows of any known bugs in X8, would it be possible to list them? I'm fixing to go ahead and download X8. TIA,
  19. If it looks fine in the layout, then try making a PDF of the layout, then print. If you see everything in a PDF, it should print.
  20. We have a free online meeting Saturday, Feb. 6, 2016 from 1:00pm to 3:00pm (Central Time). If you would like to attend, then please send me an email using my email address shown in my signature. Feel free to call me if you need more information or questions. Hopefully someone will demo X8 for us. Annette Sokoll said that if she can make it, that she will show us X8. I'm waiting for the 1st. update or final release (which ever comes first) before I download it. Sincerely,
  21. I would make it simple by going up to the next floor, turn on reference, then just trace it in cad and make the lines dashed. I add a note that it's referencing the stairs.
  22. Try using the midpoint or center snaps. Maybe that will help.
  23. It's been a long time since I've seen this. Try disconnecting the walls to lose room definition, then reconnect.
