I think Chief X6 can export .stp files (but not import) check MENU - FILE - IMPORT Lew

Lets improve not remove :) +1 Lew

Timmy: to get more than guesses you'll need to post the plan also helps to know which version of chief you are using Lew

Hmmm, I agree that hijacking is bad but the info was informative no real reason NOT to start a new thread to continue the discussion but somebody has to realize the thread is being hijacked and do it a social conundrum indeed... Lew

Barton: my user library is 3.4 GB and I have thousands of items I never got around to adding I suspect manual syncing is the way to go for large user libraries Lew

Never knew about this would have been handy to use it Lew

Chief can build over two dozen roof styles automatically use auto first - then manual IF needed Lew

Andy: Huh ???? Lew

I can't even begin to remember all these "secret handshakes" boggles the mind Lew

in real life a piece of pine will stain different than a piece of oak using the same stain Lew

you probably need to re-install X6 but should try PDF first then also contact CA's tech support they can advise best if a re-install is needed also try the "clear printer info" setting under MENU - FILE - PRINT Lew

It would be nice to be able to have more than one layout open at the same time Lew

Tim: I do my own "save as" and don't rely on Chief's saves I like being in control and using my own naming convention Lew

Jesse: I think the short answer is convert the polyline solid to a solid to manipulate it see this thread in the old forum where I had a similar issue http://www.chieftalk.com/showthread.php?60076-Lew-Buttery-garage-videos-by-dsh&highlight=LEW+ANGLE+INSULATION Lew

Scott: CCR and John Fogerty Lew

but don't we want this to be easy... Scott: as Tina Turner said in the opening to "Proud Mary" "we never do nothing nice and easy" Lew

Jess: Gene is suggesting that you PTP - Post the Plan Lew

Gene: I doubt if the poster has any idea what PTP means this is their first post - so how would they possibly know ??? Lew

CA's stated goal is to remove the need for 2D tools with better 3D tools many think CA should strengthen the 2D tools until such a goal can be reached CA claims lack of resources to do both Lew

Lots of SPAM hitting the forum lately CA should monitored the first - maybe the first few - postings by a new poster I have been on many forums where the first post(s) have to be vetted by a moderator Lew

Cheryl: just curious... what's wrong with the symbols from 2006 ? Lew

Vinnie: you have one or more "broken" wall connections zoom in if necessary and check each wall connection pull the wall away and then reconnect if needed Lew

you mean SSA you have to have a paid current SSA membership to view CA's training videos with SSA you would also get the latest version of Chief - which is currently X6 the cost depends on how old your version of Chief is you may be able to add the SSA option via CA's website and get access right away - but not sure you may need to contact CA's customer service on Monday there are many free videos to watch that are done by 3rd parties check WWW.CHIEFTTUTOR.COM and Youtube for Scott Hall's videos and others Lew

Try using the Preferences settings to reset the library and project browser I don't have X6 open at this time but in X5 it was under "appearances" Lew

Hmmm, ver 10.8 is not used by many on this forum anymore but you might get lucky ??? you may need to post the plan but if someone works on it with a later version you won't be able to open it good luck Lew
