KSRFTIPE Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I've been a CA user since version 7. There's always been a quandary when upgrading. I have several large and involved homes in the design phase - not yet up to construction plan phase. If one is "in progress" on a project in X6, should he or she dare continue the project in X7? Would be really good to simply open these projects in X7 and continue where I left off. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chief58 Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 I agree with Scott but the first thing I would do is copy the plan and paste it in X7 so you still have the original plan in the version you started in, I brought a 4 unit townhouse into X7 by copy and paste worked on it there flawlessly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I've had a few issues with plans done in X6 but mostly annoyances: two plans with some crashes (cause unknown-varied), some serious lag trying to edit group selected cabinets in an X6 plan. I didn't lose any work and did not have to revert (though at one point I was thinking of it in the public beta). I just open em and do a "save as", add a 7 to the name so I know. I'm now on 7 entirely-good so far on 3 projects all full buildings but still just interior work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gawdzira Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 None of the problems of the past versions. In the past I had issues with text boxes but with x6-x7 everything was smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I still have issues with text boxes loosing the auto height and width checks which leads to garbled text. I suspect it's b/c I keep most of my cad details in my lib. As far as the plan goes- no problem. My rule of thumb is bring all plans foreward that are in the preliminary stage and , a plan that is almost complete, framing, layout, details, everything but plan check corrections, I leave alone.

Kiwideziner Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I agree with Perry, that has been my approach for recent upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
