    I have several property set definitions that somehow got into template files that won't purge. Some of them purged fine, but several others won't let go! I am right clicking on them and selecting purge in the style manager. HELP. 06-18-2009 5:34PM

    I need a data format for doors and windows that looks like the following examples: Reports 3068 for a 3'-0"x6'-8" door Reports 6040 for a 6'-0"x4'-0" window Is that possible to accomplish with a data format? I have tried a little without success and wondered if you had any insights that might help 06-18-2009 10:17AM

    You can't do this with a data format, however you can with a series of formulat properties. It's a bit complicated, but if you build a formula to separate whole feet from whole inches for both the width and height values, then re-concatenate them into a new value, you can do it that way. The attached drawing file shows a very rough example that uses the formulas to build a custom tag.

    This is really very Good Session. But I want all this procedure on Autocad MEP Services. Because I saw many time this R & D on Architectural Product only. 05-06-2009 9:41AM

    The process and tools are the same in AutoCAD MEP, the objects are just different. 05-06-2009 4:46PM

    How can I get Window and Door trim lengths (interior and exterior) to show up for estimating costs? Also need to retrieve all baseboard components from my custom wall styles. Anything you guys can come up with for helping out with estimating trim, studs, drywall, etc. is GREATLY appreciated. 03-20-2009 7:58AM

    If you use parameters to store or control the trim lengths, and you make them shared parameters, they can be reported in a schedule like any other parameter. 03-23-2009 9:03AM
