I have a macro ffe_data with this: [Evaluate / None]
ffe_house = "24.0' FFE NAVD88"
ffe_2nd_Floor = "23.5' FFE NAVD88"
ffe_garage = "23.9' FFE NAVD88"
ffe_porch_1 = "23.5' FFE NAVD88"
ffe_porch_2 = "23.5' FFE NAVD88"
ffe_stoop = "23.5' FFE NAVD88"
ffe_grade_1 = "22.5' FFE NAVD88"
ffe_grade_2 = "22.5' FFE NAVD88"
""
I want to use rtext to display th value of ffe_garage.
What is the syntax to display the value of that variable?
Thanks
PS I think someone already told me how years ago but I must have forgotten.

I am new to Chief but so far I love it. Far better than my previous software. So far, the only problem that I have had is using macros to create a custom label for cabinets.
All I am trying to do is get chief's labels to match my manufacture nomenclature. I know I could manually change it on every cabinet, but that seems like to much work and honestly a waste of time. So could someone give me some help. Either a bit of a guide on custom macros and some recourses and documentation (which I, for the life of myself, can't find), or maybe a working-ish or example macro.
Some examples:(chief nomenclature, needed nomenclature)
3DB24, B3D24
U242484L, T2484L
FHB24L, BF24L
Thanks in advance for the help! And if I didn't give enough information or if there is a better way to go about this, please let me know.
Oh, almost forgot. I am running Interiors x14.

What can you do if NOTHING happens when you try to "insert macro" in a rich text box?
In most (but not all, apparently) dialogue boxes, I'm prompted with a whole slew of options to select from and they get inserted directly into my text box. But right now I'm working in a Layout template - on the Page 0 - and I'm inserting rich text and the insert macro option does absolutely nothing.
I've looked for a list of text macros so I could type them in manually as "%whatever.whatever%" but can't seem to find any such list on the WWW.
Fairly new to Chief so would appreciate any help out there!

I have struggled with this problem for some time. When I send views to Layout, I will sometimes have a difficult time "picking" a line to edit (see attached view). By hit-and-miss I am able to select it off to the left from where it shows in the view. I could never determine why or what causes it to happen until today. I have sent countless views back to layout just so I could edit them - sometimes! By chance, I discovered today, while working on a cabinet sheet of views, the problem started again. I re-sent a view, could edit the lines in place by picking them where they showed in the view. After some edits, I could not select the lines as before; they had to be selected to the left of shown. I did a mental backtrack of what I had done just before this occurred. The only thing I had done different between the functioning view and the non-functioning view was to move the view label. I like to move the labels close to the view they tag to prevent possible errors in labeling. Sure enough, if I moved the label I could no longer pick a line as normal. If I didn't move the label, I could pick the lines as normal. Would someone please try this on one of your layout sheets to see if this happens on your system? I don't think it would be a setting but I don't have a clue why it would happen. BTW, I mostly move my labels to the left if that has any bearing.
Thanks, Mike
