Yep, that worked! Thank you so much! Of course, it would be nice if CA recognized that casement windows with opposing hinge sides should automatically be considered unique schedule items so I wouldn't have to individually specify a custom label......

Tried changing lots of stuff, it only works when that same information is also included in the Schedule, like specifying "Tempered" in the window specs (as long as "Tempered" is included in the Schedule), or "Manufacturer" in the "Components" DBX. When I deleted "Tempered" and "Manufacturer" from the Schedule, it reverted to the same window number as the mirror image...

Yes I tried that and it works but then the Schedule reports the wrong window size.

Hi all, First post, I'm a design/build homebuilder and have been using CA7 for 1-1/2 years, and really love this program. I've only recently started exploring window and door schedules and automatic window and door labeling. I should've been using it sooner as I was hand-labeling like I did in the days before CA, but I'm a slow learner and it takes time finding all the new gems to make my time designing better and more rewarding. Anyway, the lake house I'm currently working on has casement windows on the back cathedral with trapezoid transoms above. The "problem" I'm having is that Chief wants to label two trapezoids as the same window number, even though they're mirror images of each other, and also wants to label two casements the same although they have opposite hinge sides. Anyone know of a way to continue using the "Group Similar Objects" option in the Window Schedule Specifications DBX and also have these items correctly listed separately? In X7, at least? Picture attached showing the two issues... Thanks! -Chris
