    Thank you so very much for the help, tips, screenshots and file, Mike….I have officially reset my registry and unfortunately, my issue continues. Sad face.

    Now I wonder if the issue is related to my settings that are set for dimension lines. In the settings options, there is just a box that you either check or uncheck for “long extension” lines. Checking the box allows you to adjust the length of the extension lines to any desired length, which I do. Depending on what I am detailing, sometimes I need them sort, other times longer to better illustrate the information, so I have them checked as long and adjust them individually. But upon opening a file, those carefully, manually adjusted extension lines are all just super long all over the place, if not missing the whole dimension completely.

    Maybe they just don’t work in 2020 the way I want them to and the way I have been accustomed to while working in AutoCAD? Can I not adjust them individually and have this saved? Is it all or nothing? Either all really short, or all really long? I would think they are able to be adjusted and saved that way, since it allows adjustments in the first place. I don’t know, but color me frustrated. 🙂 …a nice shade of green.

    (I’ve attached a screenshot of what I get after opening a file on the left, and how I need them to be on the right) This file isn’t so bad, but the more detailed the drawing, the more cumbersome this becomes.

    Each of the unique files is a Zip archive containing the image plus an XML file. The only thing I can think of is to check the contents of each zip file to look for duplicate images. You can do this manually (sort the directory by file size and only look at zips that have identical file sizes) or using a zip content comparator:

    Topic: Ceiling – Dome or Cathedral

    Thanks in advance!!!!

    Anyone have any tips for creating a Domed Ceiling or a Cathedral ceiling?

    For the domed ceiling I have tried the Underground catalog’s Barrel Vaulted ceiling and that works alright for a rounded ceiling but my salesman would like a circular dome in the middle of a room and I just can’t figure that one out.

     

    I have done cathedral ceilings before, but it becomes a problem when I have 2 rooms sharing a wall and only 1 side is a cathedral. Without creating a 2nd wall for the non-cathedral room I get all sorts of craziness with the ceiling.

    Creating a 2nd wall leads to it’s own set of problems with measurements and corners, so I like to avoid that if I can.

    Thanks for the example and the tips for printing.

    As I mentioned above I am not a kitchen designer nor use 2020.  My question is this to all 2020 designers.  When you design a kitchen do most of you go to the home to see what your designing or do you design based on a client coming to your office and giving you dimensions?

    I would find it difficult to design a kitchen for a client where I did not see nor measure for myself the area.  Take measurements in the home etc.

    Just curious to hear the answers!!

    Thanks

    Maybe that is close to trapdoor, anyway, it is best to share precise ideas if you have included the photo or at least a minimal explanation. By the way, if you have more future renovation or even repair ideas you can simply get to this DIY home repair products at http://www.sunlinemesh.com/products/, they have almost all renovation materials as well as tips that help you the entire work process.

    Hi Peggy,

    Glad you figured it out. We are in fact working on some ideas to deliver notifications.

    For the moment though, the best way is just to check in the Newsfeed of your 2020 Cloud window. When we have an update or a new release we post a note in there.

    You’ll also see usage tips and other handy entries!
