Kyle, the OP is using Interiors, that does not have annotation sets.

That's good to know P. Heard back from my guy and he found it- was that he pasted "tab" into the field- grows like a beanstalk-worst if there's a tab at the end of the line. Just reproduced it.

Sounds fun. Heard back from my guy-he's checking for the file but said he remembers carriage returns as the problem. Yours may well be different, as I remember we already had the schedule in a CAD detail.

I keep em off all the time but then my world is cabinets. They don't show correctly in plan, confuse installers, don't show in schedule (can get missed in orders).

Gene, just ran a test and I can't make it happen again-go figure. Have sent a message off to my assistant to see if either he remembers or what plan it was (was one he worked on) Will let you know if we find it again.

Try removing that column from the schedule, if growing stops the problem is there. Then copy comments into word processor and turn on hidden characters. Was last year, but that what I think I remember.

We had this, cause was carriage return(s) in label or other user input in components list. Think they got there pasting.

Likely you used the NKBA plan template which only has those Dim Defaults. If you are using Premier you can import annotation sets from the Profile.plan template. If you have Interiors you either have to copy and edit the default OR open new plan using the profile.plan template and then copy everything you have to that. Likely safer and easier to add another default by copying.

Chopsaw, I missed your post at first since this thread is marked solved. Might start fresh and include pictures or plan. I can't tell exactly what the issue is.

I used "treatments " they are custom millwork symbols. Offset is controlled by the symbol origin which takes some trial and error (at least for me).

Gave it a shot as millwork treatment. Still needs some work but I had something like it (just learned this month Hope it helps. Symbols in plan

Cheryl C was doing some virtual staging at one point, maybe she'll drop by.

I think that the way to get there is making a single brick as a molding symbol then using that on a curved 3d pline, add a second row with offset. Once you have it looking right convert to a millwork symbol and use it as a window treatment- will have to muck around with symbol origin though.. Attached is a start- to make it look good I'd figure out the angle for the sides of the brick before converting the solid to a molding symbol. Currently working on a job where I had to use the window treatment thing a lot so that's what I was thinking. Actually guess you wouldn't want to add the angle to the brick, only the mortar in the new symbol. brick arch.plan

If you edit the size of the object the Description in the components list reverts to base cabinet-have to use a user defined sub-category for it not to change on edit. You taught me this work around Joe.

FWIW-i use molding lines exclusively- easier to copy from plan to plan, easy to have variations set on separate layers to show clients options, easier to adjust.

Yeah, I hate using traditional overlay hacks for an number of reasons-like I miss thing Had a thought and checked and the "blank area" hack works with standard full overlay-so cabinet can still be used to get openings for maker.

Can do that with a normal cathedral, just looks odd because the one wall is 45.

easier to do than explain-plan attached, open the cabinet DBX, look at contruction and face items. Key is getting a blank area instead of a vertical partition, need to use traditional overlay and adjust the overlap but also works for inset.

1- I've just started to look into these-started with Wikipedia-has some external links and a web search. 2-you need to edit the material- depending on if material region-open, structure, edit-select material, plan material, copy, edit. You can then change the grout color there under "lines" 3- I think because they are photos- I did manage to import a toaster oven once with the photo of the front intact- don't remember how, likely was accidental, deleted it. Not something I fuss with.

We end up with lots of save as variations- we place a text with macro inserted for file name-helps avoid confusion down the line. Elevations and when linking mulitple plans will place macro in the view label to identify the file. Just have to remember to get rid of them before printing.

No you can't specify what gets and stays clipped and what does not-that does at times present problems BUT based on your description I think you just need to make sure that the cabinets are actually butted together. Clip exposed corners and not back or sides that meet other cabinets is CA standard behavior.

Thanks David. 1-I got something using slabs, I think I can make the rest look right. Don't think I could have gotten it to work without them-once I started pulling more dimension from the front elevation I discovered that the balcony is thicker than the floor-at least from the front. I'll have to go find a vid or something to understand what the automatic walls were doing, kept attaching to the railings and sinking the side ones down into the slab. Finally added room dividers around 2-Had already tried several custom molding profiles for the sill. Made a symbol for the bottom sill and placed it as a treatment, first floor is better, still not quite right on the second floor but think the detail isn't either. 3-Peachy- one of my favorite words I don't mind things being a bear if I learn how things work when I'm done-in this case not so much-just beat it with a hammer. Thanks for the encouragement.

This is another fine mess you got us into ...really out of my depth on this. I only have to make this all look correct- no condocs from it. Still I'd like to do as much properly as I can and I'm just a GCS. (glorified cabinet salesman) 1-Balcony over porch, railings and such? Attached pic of elevation I need to get to, pic of what I have, along with plan in a zip. I messed with railings on the balcony for a long time and finally gave up trying to get the uneven newel spacing and having the floor in the right place, or the ceiling of the porch in the right place, or a roof that I floated in there. and a few other things. Thought I'd learn how to do this-hah. So finally used invisible walls, placed the newel symbols manually, then got some railings in there (I know they don't meet the newels properly) So then I went to use molding plines to get the facia around the top of the porch, Not going to work with what I have going here. Would really like to know how to properly do this please? 2-While at it-also attached are some pics for the second floor windows. In one case I can get the shutters to properly meet the window frame but then the sill is wrong. Can't find a way to change the material on the bottom of the window to match without changing the rest. In the other case I have the correct limestone sill but then the shutters are floated on the stone face. I settled on the former. Just wondering if there was another option? 3-For the limestone lintels and for the limestone surround on the center window I used "Treatment-exterior millwork above casint" I'm happy enough with the results (short of z fighting which I can likely fix), but it was a bit of a bear to do-is there a better way? Still working on the rest,was given the file-so far changed floor spec, and wall definitions and threw away the foundation. Will go after the interior once I get the rest setteld. TIA

Like Michael I use custom counters. I have an annotation set for just counters which takes care of the dimensions as well as the layers.Grabbed a really small job for a sample.

Just figured that out. Force of habit. I use blocks in every project just to get things (corbels,hoods,partitions,molding..) into the cabinet schedule. So automatically did that. Only ever blocked cabinets in an attempt to get a second cabinet schedule.
