RobUSMC Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 In X-9 I was able to send the "current screen" of a plan to a layout and select Fit to Sheet (No Scale). Once on the layout page, grab a corner and increase the image size. Trying to exactly what Ive done in X-9 does not work the same in X-10. Grabbing the corner will increase the bounding box but will not increase the image size. What has changed? When I import an image to the layout it works as it used to in X-9. Tried it with three different plans and two different designers PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Try holding the ALT key when dragging the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holding the Alt key does Not work the way a basic left click did in X9. 1 hour ago, RobUSMC said: Why the change from previous versions? They forgot how the program was working when thy added the new alternate random reshaping feature in X10. This makes no sense at all when using live image views.

RobUSMC Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Why do you need to reshape the layout box when you are sending a "current screen" shot to the layout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 Rob, Until Chief sorts out why they did this and gets it fixed here is my 10 click workaround that Michael helped me with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUSMC Posted August 2, 2018 Author Share Posted August 2, 2018 Im still wondering why you would need to reshape a layout box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However this is more the exception rather than the rule in my opinion and should be the alternate behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
