  1. Recently switched over to new computer, and have an issue I need help with.

     

    Am struggling in turning off and turning on electrical on plans.  I sent to layout separately, and when I go in the turn off or turn on electrical, it turns on/off all electrical on all views, even though they were sent to layout separately.  This is a new issue that I did not have prior to installing onto a new computer here, and am struggling to figure out what has changed here?   Any input if appreciated.   AJ PE

  3. Have attached 2 pics.  After sending Cross Elevation to Layout.  1st time to layout received color view.  2nd time sent to layout, & afterwards only receive “cad “ view.    If want to use color view only, how best do that?

  4. Have been told the receptacles, lights, etc are too small and prefer larger.  Using 1/4" scale on 24" x 36" drawings defaults that come w/ the program.   How to best increase in size automatically, without enlarging each individual item? 

  5. Trying to make the font size larger on door labels.   I will often use the custom label, and have been told the font is too small.    I use the standard default, and how best to make bit larger?

  6. On Layouts would like to be able to layer Off some text, while keeping other text  On.    For example layer / turn off Structural text on the Electrical drawing while keeping electrical text on the Electric Layout Drawing.    Have seen examples on layouts sent to me.    Have spent some time on, and would be helpful if someone could shed light on how best to accomplish.  Thank you.

  7. Was trying to determine the going rate for a project similar too.  Am an engineer, and even though this is not a time consuming task for me to create a Photometric Plan I do not want to leave money on the table.  By this forum post thought could tap into the free advise  network here, and maybe receive info from a response from those who do this type of work.
