Problem with window schedule

[blacktoque]

In my window schedule the size of window shows up as a sort of code like: '3040DC'. I can't figure out where it is getting this information and (more importantly) how to change it.

 

thanks.

It's the automatic label and the type code

3040 reads as  "3 - oh - 4 - oh" and means 3'-0" x 4'-0" (width is always first). DC means "double casement".

What would you like to change?

I guess I would like it to be clearer. Something like 36"wx40"h.

 

thanks

There is also a Width and Height field you can activate in the schedule.

This is probably the answer you're looking for. Here's how I do my window schedules - separating width and height so there's no confusion (sometimes those window codes are so ambiguous especially for customers reviewing them)

 

Here is the basic window schedule, which live on their own 'cad detail' sheet and automatically update - this way I don't recreate details, and they don't have to live on my main modeling sheet off in the corner.

Set them all up, then you can reference them from a template layout file and you know they'll always be correct.

 

I also have this one which shows window elevations etc and all the windows are split apart (no double qty etc they are all individual). This goes to the builder when he orders windows, but doesn't appear on the drawing sheets (too big)

 

 

 

AS for W+Height, those feilds are in the table options you can add them, rename, etc....

 

 

Hope this helps!
