Gosh Ben, do you really want to share your deep dark secrets. There are some people here who would not dare to help out others. Of course they will be interested in learning what others have to share...... we will not name names but we all know who they are.

The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.
We can please some of the people some of the time, but we can't please all the people all of the time..... but I will keep trying.

Ben, your work is top notch - truly.
Can you share with me your method for the profile lines? All I do right now is draw poly lines over the plan generated lines.X5

Johnny, I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "Profile Lines", but if it helps, I have set up many user defined layers, and also thanks to others on the site explaining how to do it, I have (12) annotation sets relating to the different layout views I use. I also found that a specific "Layer" can be defined differently for each annotation set which takes some work to set up, but is very powerful.

Ben, my BITDEFENDER blocks me from going on your site, not sure what that is about. I assume what JPC is asking about is how you make your elevations "pop". I think some users draw HEAVY cad lines around the roof and such to make the elevations "pop". I am assuming you simply use a heavier line style for your ROOF LAYER......

Scott, never had anyone tell me our site was blocked by their virus software ... not sure why that is. I'll ask our web designer about it.
Web admin says the website looks good, but our blog (Wordpress) got hacked and he is on it. Thanks for the heads-up!
I do have a "Annotation Set" for elevations with specific heavy line definitions. Line weight for roof planes in my elevation annotation set is "25", walls is "35", windows is "10"Ben Johnson

OK, I'm pretty convinced that having General Notes, etc in the Default Layout as "Live RT" is the way to go. It makes editing much easier and keeps the Plan File uncluttered. I also have Standard Details in the Layout but it's fairly easy to just copy some from the Library - as long as the Library is kept organized so the details are easy to find. Still, if it's done once in the Default Layout you don't need to do it again for each project.
The big difference for me is that all of those things are editable directly in the layout without needing to switch to a view in the Plan.Joseph P. Carrick, Architect - AIA

Perry,
As you know, these numbers can vary depending on the Line Weight Scale setting in Page Setup.
It would be interesting to see if this setting is different for both users.Glenn
