Thanks for your response....

I'm interested in learning from our users what line weights you use for your printed drawings.
I'd like to know what weight for objects such as timbers, and what weight for dimensions?
Also, do you use different line weights for different size paper, for example 8.5x11, 11x17, 18x24, 24x36....?

Also do you print in color?
If so what colors do you use for each type line?

Thanks in advance...

Welcome Philip......

For safety and crashes you should/could back up your files to another drive or to an external hard drive.
Save often and back up regularly...

Have you backed up your files?

Once you have created the drilling and have turned on the view of drilling under display you should see it when you do a rendering.
See attached.

Hi ho:

Wishing you the best of the holiday season and a better new year than the last.

I'm not sure if it's available, yet. Check with your salesman, he will be the best one to give you information about this module.

It depends on which part you want to have on top or bottom. You may need to figure the load and have the heaviest on bottom and enough bearing surface to support that load.
It can be a challenge to cut certain ways and get what you want. You may try several to find one that works for you.

Peter, I had the same problem once and I had to upgrade my video card to get nice pictures....

Here is a door I created.
See if this helps you

One thing they told me when I started using the program is to think about how you would cut these pieces if you were to cut them in real life. As pieces of wood. Then use the cut functions available to cut one panel to this shape.
After you have one panel done, copy to two other locations.

Hope that helps.

Good luck...

There are some text function tags called "keywords" that will automatically insert information into your drawing from the program or the database.
These "keyword" tags are accessed in the text command 6-2.
For example if you want the project name inserted you would fill out your text like this, see attached.

There is a long list of program text "keyword" tags that you can use to have the information automatically inserted into your drawing or title box, when you open a blank drawing from a saved template.

When you create a template and place these "keyword" tags where you want them the program will fill in the information for you.

Here is a list of the "keyword" tags and what information they will bring into your drawing:

#pro# = project number
#projectpath# = current project path
#pos# = position number
#posinfo# = position info
#dwg# = drawing number
#dwgpathfile# = drawing: path and filename
#savedate# = date of last file save
#printdate# = date of last printout
#makedate# = date of initial creation
#building# = building
#buildingcomment# = building comment
#client# = client’s name
#client# = client’s name continued
#clientcontact# = client contact name
#clientstreet# = client street address
#clientcode# = client postal code
#clientcity# = client city
#clientfon# = client phone number
#clientfon2# = client phone number # 2
#clientmobile# = client mobile phone number
#clientfax# = client fax phone number
#clientemail# = client e-mail address
#architect# = architect’s name
#architect2# = architect’s name continued
#architectcontact# = architect contact name
#architectstreet# = architect street address
#architectcode# = architect postal code
#architectcity# = architect city
#architectfon# = architect phone number
#architectfon2# = architect phone number # 2
#architectmobile# = architect mobile phone number
#architectfax# = architect fax phone number
#architectemail# = architect e-mail address

These "keyword" tags are listed under the blue pull down arrow in the lower left section of the multi-line text box.
Once you have select the "keyword" tag you want to use you need to click the insertion arrow above the text line to insert the "keyword" tag into the text box at the point where the cursor is positioned.

Once you have your information where you want it in your drawing, whether it is in a view port or in a title box, you can save this drawing as a template.

And each time you begin a new drawing, select this template from the list of templates available and the information will automatically fill in when the template opens on your screen.

Some "keyword" tags will not be filled in until the function happens, for example if you have a function for "date of last file saved" in your drawing, and you haven't saved your drawing, yet, there won't be anything there for the "keyword" tag to produce.

I hope this helps you to create your drawing sheets easier.

To get your 2d drawings to a standard scale read this post:

Maybe this will help you with scale.

Very nice, and easy....

Then to get the mortise through the curved beam you could try using the mortise function assigned from the smart tag library. I think that will do the mortise for you.

Can you please post the instructions to make Eureka moment?

You could review your move settings and see what that is set at.

Zitat von Joachim Neumann

We will see the DXF files in the normal tree with the projects in menu and you will be able to delete the files there.

Kayaker and Hans:
His comment is: you will see these DXF files in the normal tree with the projects in menu and you will be able to delete these files there........after the next update to the program is issued to North American users.....

Then you will be able to delete them using 3-1 in project administration....
