Hi, Regarding question one about increasing the size of the text inside the schedule boxes without expanding the boxes. Can a schedule be sent as a “view to cad” to explode all the lines that define the boxes ? If it can be done then you would be able edit the text without expanding the boxes. I Haven’t used CA extensively since X10 but others might be able to comment if that is actually possible right now ?

Looks like we’re getting the ability to add sub-folders in the project browser!!!

Brilliant!

That might be just what it looks like in the Project Manager.  I'm not sure it's indicating an ability for us to add sub-folders.  It would be nice if it is but I don't think so.

I had a hard time envisioning what the user wanted to achieve.  If the layout box doesn't change and we doubled the text size in the rows, then immediately there is a word wrap problem in "Size" and "Description" fields.  At a minimum the box has be adjusted to resolve "Size" and columns 2-4 can't be sized any smaller than their current headings.  Column 1 could be smaller and word wrap, but then the 3D image gets smaller.  Column 8 could be smaller and word wrap, but Chief would need to know which fields can and cannot be word wrapped to programmatically resolve this on the fly.

I personally liked the 3D editing tools for the HVAC plumbing pipe. The ability to edit a texture so you can control where it starts and ends including its rotation and its size. I look forward to seeing what other new things have been included in X17.
