Ps To every one that is going the route to uninstall and install the previous x14. When you open your layout save it first. Close it - reopen and then print, els it still have the problem :)

 

Hi Elfra, Tech support sent me version Chief_Architect_Premier-24.1.0.46-Win64. I uninstalled the current version and reinstalled and that fixed the error! For everyone follwoing, you will need to asked tech support for this version to solve the problem.

 

Good luck!

Hi Selaro,

Just talked to Tech Support.....the version you were given is the update version prior to the latest (corrupt) update.

Tech Support are aware of the issue & working on a fix...I'm not sure how we are to be informed when the revised update is available

Cheers, Steve

Thanks Steve, my ticket is still open on this. I have sent my specs to Chief and once they get back to me with an update I will make sure to post it here! I'm just glad to be able to get projct going again.

 

Cheers,

I am certainly not doing the download of that update until this is fixed. 

Doesn't seem to affect most.  It is apparently a small amount of users being affected.  So obviously it is a configuration that is causing an issue with this.  Chief is just trying to figure out what it is.  I haven't seen any of these issues personally on my setup.

Like others have written, it has to-do with the display scale settings for the monitors being used on the individual's computer.  Tech Support guided me through the solution and, while it's not elegant, it does allow me to produce PDF's which are accurate representations of the model.

 

I changed all my monitors to 100% scaling, closed X14 and re-opened the software.  Printing to PDF now works (although, the buttons etc are very hard to see...  definitely nothing to do with my aging eyesight!).

Got it figured out.

 

In playing around with different configurations, the issue only occurs when i send the elevation to the layout page and select "live view". When I send it as plot lines, it prints correctly. 

Hey!

 

Was about to create my own post about the same problem and then saw this thread.

Having exact same problem and selecting plot lines helped. And this came after this last update. It was not there in initial x14 release.

After initial x14 update I am having all sorts of weirdness with elevations. Like most annoying is that every move with details seen in elevation is very slow. Changing between elevation views is sometimes 5 seconds. Even in a plan with a very tiny building. Was much faster in x13.

And now new update to "fix" x14 bugs gave this rescaling issue.

At least I can print my drawings now.

 

Thank you!

Toolbar buttons can be enlarged -- see Preferences.

 

And please check your messages -- envelope icon top of page.

 

 

I have checked my messages, thank you.  Is there something in particular which you are wishing to emphasize or, are the messages an automatically generated response to new members?

 

If so, please let me know.


Thanks,
Wallace

Yeah I did not get an update notice either and used the help check for updates which just takes you to the download page.  @SNestor Posted about it on facebook which is the only way I knew it was there.  @DermotJust FYI.

Perhaps Rolling out the Fix slowly for "Testing" since it is a single (Hot) fix Update for this specific issue....

I'm having an issue with elevations not updating but the scale isn't the problem. When I have a layout open and revise an elevation, even though I'm clicking yes to update after I close it, it's not updating on my layouts. I have to go in and physically hit the button to "Update all views" to have anything actually update. Extremely frustrating. Is anyone else having this issue? 

 

I downloaded the update above and it's still not working.

This no longer happens in X14 AFAIK  ...are you still in X13 per your Forum Signature ? ( or time to update it perhaps? )

 

Use of the Update All or Update Plot Line Views Buttons manually is common Practice now unfortunately ......

This problem only started when we upgraded to X14. Never had this issue with any previous versions. 

 

Quite true , but that is the way it is now........ I suspect it was done or seen as a way to increase performance issues in Chief.

I sure hope this isn't the final answer. It's actively asking me if I want to update these views and even though I'm clicking "yes" it's not happening. That doesn't seem like a feature that's working as it should.

Only answer from me sorry, you will need to contact Tech Support for a better answer,  as most people aren't even being asked to update the view to Layout now like in earlier Versions - most believe it is the way it is implemented now in X14 and not so much as "Bug".
