Jim, one thing that I picked up on from your video is the floating Edit Menu. I didn’t think to click on the pin on the edit menu to have it floating.  The only thing I would like is when you click on the calculator it would pop up next to the floating Edit Menu. Is there a way to do that?

 

Thanks

Rick

_{The video was helpful, but how can you set up specific information pertinent to the project in the title block without having to do it for each page?}

[Keith Almond]

You use information stamps ... Softplan then pulls all the information to fill the title blocks from the project/designer/drawing information within the project. Have a look at some of my drawing sheets here ... http://softplan.com/...er-page/?p=8482

I think that it would be useful if the drawings that are loading into the template from the new project as being centered or all drawings fitting on the page.

 

I have noticed in the past if you go to edit a drawing and click on the label and uncheck it off and then check it back on, it will reset to the correct position under the drawing. I realize that I am particular and hate moving the label independently myself.

 

Also it would be really awesome if there was some way to auto-populate some detail pages at the end of a set by specifiying the drawings we would like to add and their scale and Softplan fitting them to the sheets neatly. That is what I spend most of my time doing when organizing sheets for the set. The other drawings I can drag in pretty easily each time without a Plan Set Template other than one that has just my titleblock in it for the first page.
