tommy1 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Using X6, when I show "Total Living Area" in the plan view for a given floor and move it out of the way from dimension lines and plan title, it's okay and stays there while the plan is open. When I close Chief and re-open the plan, it jumps back to where it was before I moved it. Has anyone else noticed this? It doesn't do this in X5.

DRAWZILLA Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I use the macro for that so you can put it anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Tommy: are you sure about it not doing it in X5 ??? this has been a problem eveer since I started with ver 9.5 (maybe ver 10 ?) I keep it turned off now because of the jumping and haven't tried it in years Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted June 20, 2014 Author Share Posted June 20, 2014 Lew, I can't say for all X5 plans but with the last two new garage apartments I did, I don't remember having to have to relocate them every time I opened the program. I could be wrong about the X5 thing BUT it's happing now the 3-story plan I'm doing in X6 for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJSpud Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Tommy: I am with Lew on this .... I think it has always behaved that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbaehmer Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I never used it because I don't believe it calculates total living space correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I rarely use it but I did recently and got the same behavior in X6. It jumps back to the place it like to call home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 A long time ago it was fixed but somewhere along the way it broke again. I never use it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaconHill Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I can confirm that the "Living Area" behaved for me in X5. I just opened up a half dozen plans in X5 and it is where I left it. In X6 it is always jumping back to the bottom center of the plan. Even when I open up an X5 plan in X6, it moves to the center bottom. Guess I will have to look into macros.

Kiwideziner Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 1 thing I found out recently from tech support is that if you have 2 buildings on a plan the macro for living area RANDOMLY chooses which building area to display. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 the macro for living area RANDOMLY chooses which building area to display Graeme: thanks another reason to place each building in a separate plan and then make symbols to place in the master site plan Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
