    HD 2012 Architectural -- Plot Plan??

    I am new to this and have exhausted all of the search options that I can come up with. I would like to draw a plot plan of my lot showing dimensions. It is all straight lines (5 total) but I am not able to make it happen. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks......Bob

    Bob:

    the chieftak forum is mainly for users of the Chief Premier products

    while HD product users can also benefit you might find more appropriate replies on the Hometalk forum

    I follow that forum also so post your query there and I can provide some info that may be of assistance

    while the HD products are sub-sets of Chief Premier they have far fewer tools and features- so a solution that works for Chief may not work for an HD product

    I agree with Lew in that Home Talk is for Home Designer Users, I also hope this helps you,

    Thanks for the replies. The You Tube was informative but since I am working off of my deed, I would have to draw it manually to import it. I could just use the manual drawing.

    I apologize for getting on the wrong forum. I came in under support on CA's home page forgetting that there is a Home Design Software page and corresponding support page. I will register and post to the forum there.

    If a moderator could please remove this post it would be appreciated.

    Thanks..........Bob

    Bob:

    HD users can participate on this forum and get some benefit

    Hometalk should also be a source
