ricatic Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 I have the trial version of X12 installed. I will be upgrading from HD Pro 2021 when economics dictate such a move. My issue is the automatic saving of my HD Pro designs as X12 and displaying both program icons on the desktop.and the subsequent auto opening of the file in X12...Is there a way to halt this behavior so drawings done in HD Pro open only in HD Pro... Thanks Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricatic Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Eric Thanks for the "open with" tip...The reason I asked here is because in my opinion the problem was tied to Premiere X12... My intentions are when things pick up here in Michigan and a few more projects are contracted to upgrade. I keep practicing a bit with Premiere to prepare for the switch. Thanks again...

Dermot Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 When you installed the X12 trial version it changed your system settings to associate .plan and .layout files with the new version. This is pretty standard behavior when you install a new version of the software. If you would like to change the file associations back to your version of HD Pro, see if this help article helps: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/support/article/KB-01131/associating-plan-layout-and-library-files-with-the-latest-version-of-chief-architect-or-home-designer.html On a side note, you might want to contact our sales department to discuss your options. We usually have upgrade discounts and a we also have a rental program that might make it easier for you to make your decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
