PROJECT MANAGEMENT MODE

[decorators3]

Hi

 

I'm having trouble getting Project Management Mode to work properly in Chief Architect Premier X18.

When I try to enable it, I have to close whatever I'm working on, return to the Dashboard, and select Project Management Mode under Preferences.

However, when I reopen a plan, it doesn't appear to be in Project Management Mode. When I go back into Preferences, I'm told the plan must be closed before I can make the change.

I've repeated this process several times, but the same thing keeps happening.

Am I missing a step, or is there something I'm doing incorrectly? I'd appreciate any advice on how to get this working properly.

 

Cheers

Levina

You will need to import that un-managed plan into a project, it doesn't become a project automatically.

OK what is an un-managed plan - is it a new one as opposed to current

[joey_martin]

Any plan or layout file not associated with a project is "un-managed".

 

If you are just moving to PM mode, you should watch this video. It will change the way Chief works.
