landry454 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share Posted February 19, 2016 Seems to be some sort of bug in X8. Here is what i get when i try and re link an elevation from an earlier version of the house (with an 8/12 pitch roof) to the newer saved plan file with a 6.5/12 roof pitch. I realize this is a beta version and there are bound to be bugs. Where and how do you report this? pitch change.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Actually, if you blur your eyes it doesn't look that bad... (a joke) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 I'm don't think it's a bug b/c it doesn't happen to me. Did you actually open the layout elevation view and close it again. Are your settings correctly set for each camera. This is new and when bringing plans forward there are new settings to adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Since you're only showing us PDF's I wonder if the actual file looks this way when you zoom in?? Perhaps try another way to make a PDF or print directly from CA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landry454 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Here are a couple of screen shots showing the same thing, One from camera view one from the layout. Also a different project. However i did pull up some older jobs and turn shadows in layout on and they look fine. I'm just not sure what would cause this for these current jobs i am working on. I have checked and unchecked just about every setting i can find. The shadows on layout make the elevations look so much better i really want this to work right. I will be in touch with the Chief people on Monday hopefully they can help. On a side note, thank you to all who post on this forum. Every time i have a problem i can usually find an answer on here to help me out. Good work people. Keep it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 What happens when you turn Print Preview on? What happens when you print? Is the same problem visible in the print? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landry454 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 What happens when you turn Print Preview on? Doesn't change anything. What happens when you print? Comes out the same. Is the same problem visible in the print? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 I don't suppose you could attach the plan and layout could you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glennw Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Send it in as a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landry454 Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Attached are the layout and backed up plan files in a zip folder. Not sure if this is how you do it or not but should work i think. backup.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 You did that correctly. And I agree with Glenn. Send it in to tech support. I think its a bug. I get the same thing on my end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 For what its worth, the issue only seems to happen when selecting Plot Lines instead of Live View when sending to layout. Live view seems to work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaskan_Son Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Interesting. I tried the same thing. Definitely doesn't work on my end. landry, did you send this in to tech support yet? Or has anyone else sent the issue in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRAWZILLA Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Do you have the latest and greatest update for X8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlackore Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Do you have the latest and greatest update for X8? Yes. Build 18.2.1.2x64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Reason I ask is that there was a problem similar to that in early X8 but was fixed. I don't know b/c it doesn't happen to me which leads me to think some setting is wrong somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
