I upvoted this because most of it makes sense its the brilliant part of you that has my brain over here spinning

Michael: I am with you on the Drobbox we tried One Drive years ago and it was a mess. I have to be carefull sharing files with clients making sure they cannot edit ect. What do you do for Backup? I usually will Keep Three Years on my PC than Archive the Dropbox Folders to an External Hard Drive. I still have not figured out if I can delete some folders on our PC but leave them on the Web Drop Box. I believe you can I have to be cautious so have not tried The @ person I am not familiar with the process because we usually only share PDFs with our Structual Engineer but I am brining more staff in house soon any help would be appreciated. I also have 2 Offices one in Downtown Raleigh near Planning and Zoning and on at home with duplicate sets up sometimes things get a liitle mixed up but not offten David P

The ans is no. I calculate beams/lvs ect for my own amusement. That being said everything we do unless you can cover it by (Prescriptive Code) Span table right out of the Residential or Commercial Building code goes to our Structural Engineer. When we use Trusses we make sure the Structural Engineer and the Truss Manufacturer are looking at each others work and are on the same page. I have to ask why because I see it on here a lot. Why would you want to put this task on yourself? No jurisdiction within 3 states of where we work will allow anything structural outside the Prescriptive Code to be signed off by an Architect or Residenital Designer. If you want to play Structural Engineer purchase Simlified Engineering for Architects and Builders ( James Ambrose) Ninth or Tenth Edtion it is some of my favorite bathroom reading. Cheers

I have been an Architect for 20 years I know what scale sizes are. In Plan dimension defaults you have the option of drawing 1/1 1/2 and 1/6 all I was asking was what people generally used out of curiosity. I have been using Chief Premier for over 10 years and Revit for 20 years. Pretty sure after literally hundreds of residential and commercial projects we have scaling down but thanks for the reply..

I am interested to see what Dimension Defaults Primary Format # a lot of are using. For Example 1/1 1/2 1/16. We generally use 1/1 for remodels and most Homes and 1/16 for commercial work. I would like to here your reasons which some are obvious. Most framers do not like fractional measurements like trying to frame a residential wall with a 1/6 " measurement on the plan would be silly.

I had the exact same problem and I called tech support and they told me to shelf my connexon cad mouse and buy the cheapest wired mouse possible and admire my cad mouse from a distance and the support person was really rude about and talked over me when I tried to explain what was going on. I took his advice though and it works. I tried every possible setting on the Cad Mouse but nothing worked so I bought a cheap wired mouse and it works perfectly. The support person: I am not mention names said all the people in the office use a cheap wired mouse. Go figure? I will address the rudeness on another occasion. I think we are all stupid to them. I didn't want to puff up like a barnyard rooster and mention my PhD so I just acted dumb so he would have a better day. Cheers.... David P
