Top Tips for X1

[WendyWelton]

1 - Avoid adding layers that you will have to delete. To avoid, bring dwg into a temporary Chief plan first, do any editing, layer display changes etc, then Copy & Paste into target plan. (In Chief 10 - use Edit Area)

(Both 10 & X1 can have layer weirdness from deletions (long story, short thread, just trust me...).

2 - Make sure your X and Y coordinates of 0,0 aren't too horribly far from your plan. To make sure of this - bring into blank plan first, then copy and paste, but do not use Hold Position - but just paste by eye, which will put it close enough to 0,0.

(Some surveyors plans are small pieces of large wholes, and your property might be way off in left field. If things look warped on your house, this is likely the problem.)
