    %designer.zipcode%

    Since going to X3 from X2, %designer.zipcode% does not show up in my layout borders. Anyone else encounter this?

    I believe this macro is broke ... I just noticed this in a title block on my layout and ended up just typing in the zip code. I didn't submit a ticket on this but suspected that it may have been done by someone else (perhaps a lazy assumption on my part) so don't know for sure if Chief Architect knows about this or not.

    I also have seen this problem, I guess it serves me right to bring X2 layouts into X3. One reason not to do that even though its a quick fix. Chief has always suggested to use the profile layout and plan with each new version. When you have a 20 page layout pre-figured with details and notes , its hard to re-do with every new version. Just takes valuable time to do it. The save as method (SAM) works good, it a shame Chief can't figure out a way to use it and not worry about everything working correctly.

    Yep - that's the field I use for job numbers, so you betcha it was submitted! And - I'm happy to see it's on the list of fixes in the update just released.

    I wrote code in 1984 to make my Sinclair 100 - so I used to be a programmer! So I can say with authority how easy it is to program Chief features! ;-)
