jscussel Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Is there a way to open the Plan File and Layout file at the same time? My present process: Open Chief Architect. On the Welcome screen, under recent files, select and open the Plan File. Once the Plan File is open, click File on the top menu. In the list at bottom, find and select the Layout File. It would be nice to have an option in the Welcome screen to open the linked Layout file when a Plan File is selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 You can group select and open directly from Windows Explorer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francois Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 I always open the Layout file first. The Plan file is automatically referenced to it and I open it from any Layout view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 You don't need to open the plan file, if you just open the layout, the plan file comes with it. Just double click to open it from the layout. I also have the x? icon on the taskbar, right click on that to open any plan or layout, both directly.

jscussel Posted February 14, 2017 Author Share Posted February 14, 2017 I like what Perry suggested. Will give it a try, incorporating using the layout file first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Robsterco Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 My welcome screen has been blank since the x9 upgrade. I hope I'm not missing anything. I just x it out and open plan. In fact anything I try to right click on in the the opening " Welcome" page is naked. There's arrows to click on but no ID. Still the same after update...

DRAWZILLA Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I did the upgrade today without any problems you mention, try tech support but you better do it soon as they close for the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Robsterco Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I think its in my computer software somewhere. I've found the same issue with other programs. See ? Blank ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
