ColorDesigner Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 New user - out of the box settings of Academic Version Premier X 12 2 things: 1.) how to eliminate and change crosshairs to cursor 2.) How do you get the dimensions off a new residential template plan when I draw walls? Whenever I draw any exterior walls to start, the exterior dims (or interior dims) automatically come up without having a clean plan. I can turn them off in the active layer display options, but have to turn them on to get them back. Is there a way when I open a new template plan NOT to have the dimensions show up everytime I start to draw a new project? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best advice I received when I started. open the dbx of the item and hit that help button. Huge resource of information there. While there search for just crosshairs or cursor and see what it says. F1 key is magic! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwideziner Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 why not make use of the auto functions and save time in the long run. This enables you to get quick dimensions straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dermot Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Please delete your other post. No need to post duplicate questions. You can control the crosshairs in your Preferences dialog under Edit. You can control the automatic dimensions under Default Settings, Dimension, Auto Exterior Dimensions. Turn off Auto Refresh Dimensions. If you select an automatic dimension and delete it manually, the program will ask you if you want to turn off the auto refresh. If you want this to be the default for new plans, you will have to create your own template plan and set this up as your default for new plans in preferences. I highly recommend the training videos, especially the quick start series: https://www.chiefarchitect.com/videos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
