Scott:
everyone has different learning methods
I spend 30+ years as a programmer - most of it as a contractor
I spent 18-24 months at each site such as Marriott or USair etc
each place had its own software/hardware etc
to ramp up to speed and be productive I would ask to see a working program
then I would study how the dots were connected
doing that I could then work in that environment in short order
without a working sample I would be left to "guessing" how to get things to work
once I "learned the ropes" I would usually then improve the process
and eliminate steps and a few times even made it so that one click would
execute a script and do the entire task

So what is your point? Someone asked, I answered. If you have a different method, use it, I don't care. As far as I am concerned, I hope nobody listens to me, less competition for me. I am explaining what works for me and hopefully in this process I point out the pros and cons of any method I propose. A perfect example of someone pointing out a possible method of achieving a goal was a recent post by Dermot,
while this may be a solution to an immediate problem, he did not explain the downside of such an approach. We are a community that I would like to think, works together to help each other out. Let's drop our egos and share and learn from each other. This approach will benefit all of us, us being the end user and hopefully CA, because without CA we would not even be having this discussion.
My goal is to become more efficient and productive using this program. I understand that at times I am not the most tactful person on this site, hence the nickname, "The Bridge Troll". I feed off the users that share this site with me. Whether they be newbies or experienced users, I try to learn from all of you guys, either by your questions or your answers.
Nuts, can you believe it, it is already the Month of May, boy, how time flies.................. let's make some money this year guys, the economy is turning around.D. Scott Hall (The Bridge Troll)

Scott:
my point was - why not share your annotation sets....
we can study them and learn from them

Oh, you want to learn from them, noble idea. Quite frankly, I could not learn from them and I created them. You just have to do them, it's really easy peasy if you follow the vids. As I said before, if a bunch of dumb high schoolers can do them, so can you professionals. Ask Dave from the Shady Maple Site. He learned how to do it and he is teaching his kids, and they are probably putting together better anno and layer sets than I did. I bet they are putting together sets that meet their needs, and not working with some older antiquated sets that I began putting together 3 or 4 years ago.

Scott and JT, for me the MRLS is the way to go, once set up, its automatic for all your future plans. It needs a couple little fixes, then its perfect. It has to do with remembering what plan type its associated with, you have to remember for it.

Quite frankly Scotts layers and ref sets are actually to involved even for me, and I understand them. He has a lot of them, I would go nuts trying to figure it out, and I have tried to do it. They work beautifully for him. its best to develop your own for piece of mind and to learn how you do it. Mine are simpler because my wife says she wants me around a little longer. She also say's Scott's Mrls is bigger than mine.

I don't want to use your anno set Glenn, but by quickly cycling through a working set, back and forth, on and off, it would cement the process for me. Right now, yours look to cumbersome and verbose for me to use in my work. I'd prefer simple. You've pushed the boundary which will highlight all the issues. The video's just were not clear enough for me to get what was done, step by step.
Do you know if one can export and save anno sets from one drawing to the next. I sure would not want to recreate it each time. That'd be a deal killer.-=JT=-

Set up a "Template" plan with everything set the way you like it, just delete all of the drawing graphics then save as a template.

Its late and I'm tired, and I cannot get to Taco Bell. So Scott, I'm having trouble getting the MRLS to display correctly. I've created one (several) and used them and displayed them correctly before, but now I'm at a point where when I click on the ref set, check that it is my modified choose ref set, it will not display the colors, and line types I've choosen. I've tweak the Change Floor/Reference dbx display options over and over, but nothing I do will get my changes to display anything but the red default ref set. What am I missing??
