  1. I just found this and all can say is WOW. Style Pallets are going to be a huge time saver. Just changing interior trim from wood stain to white with one click for the entire floor saves many steps.
  2. Here are the labels that I insert under the clear plastic covers of my Keys on X Keys XKeys labels Chief Arch.pdf
  3. I went through all the layers and can't find anything unusual Rob, You know you need outlets to the left and right of the kitchen sink, right?
  4. I'm an Electrical Contractor. I use CA to design the electrical system, lighting, communications and audio. I import the Architect's .PDF and start from there. I do the electrical last. I meet with the homeowner and they watch a 40" TV that mirrors my computer. I add all of their furniture, cabinets, etc I've never experienced a problem like the OP.
  5. Thanks Mick, I took your advice and moved the entire Documents Folder to the new SSD. I need to decide about using the Cloud, I like your advice about using it as a back up/
  6. I bought a second Internal SSD, Samsung 860 EVO 1TB Right now it is formatted with nothing on it. I wondered about moving CA Folders to this new drive and leaving the CA Program on the original SSD containing the OS. The Folders would be: Data Library Temporary Undo System Library Database New Plan Templates Would this make the program run faster? Second question? I currently save my Plans and Layouts to the Cloud. Should I move these back to one of the SSDs? The only thing I really need on the cloud are printed Layout in .PDF. I use them on the job sites. If yes, which one?
  7. As I mentioned in an earlier post, I was able to create a Walk Through using the PS4 DualShock Controller and an App called JoyStick Mapper. The only problem was the walking speed. Even after slowing the camera movements to 1/16" increments and slowing the mouse and App., It still moves a little too fast. Hopefully CA will work on this and it will be appreciated. Choosing just ONE required controller works for me. Spec it and I'll buy it. Thank You
  8. Brain, I just recorded a Walk Through using the PS4 DualShock Controller. I used an App called Joystick Mapper just to prove that it works. I'm hoping CA will work on this feature for Mac. Walk throughs are one of my main sales tools
  9. I connected a Sony PlayStation DualShock 4 Wireless Controller to my Mac. It is recognized in both USB and Bluetooth. Here are two screenshots.
  10. I'll test one today and see if it's recognized by the OS. I'll let you know the results.
  11. According to what I've read, the Mac OS should recognize the PS4 or Xbox controller without any added drivers or software.
  12. Yes X12 I'll have to borrow a Playstation 4 controller and see if it shows up. The Wii U controller I have is not compatible
  13. Do you have to connect a controller before this option shows up?
  14. Is Gamepad not available on Mac? I don't see it.
  15. I've owned three Mac Pros. My latest one is the 2017 model with dual video cards. With a total of 6GB in video memory, the performance for CA is very good. At $6,000 min. I'll wait until this one is obsolete.
  16. The New Mac Book Pro has two video cards. AMD Radeon Pro 5500M with 4GB of GDDR6 memory and the Intel UHD Graphics 630 The Mac Book Pro will automatically switch between them when it is plugged-in vs running on battery. I know you turn off "Automatic switching" In System Preferences > Energy Saver > Do you see an option for high performance ?
  17. Thanks, I think he's going to buy Home Designer Pro
  18. It is possible to give an older version of CA Premier to a close friend. I own every version since '97 and have many of them on CD including the key codes. I want to do it by CA's rules.
  19. I opened an older drawing and saved under X12. It crashed as soon as I clicked on the stairs. I started a new drawing and no problems with stairs.
  20. One thing I always like about CA is their consistency in Menu Items. Learning new skills and techniques is usually easy because the Menu is similar to the existing program.
  21. I mite be won to saver the obvious, but I no the weigh two cheque the write whey too sea who's word is taut bye the principle and wood bee aloud.
