I find this really hard to explain but I had been using Architectural Desktop 2005 for a few years and recently made the switch to Architecture 2008. Here's an example of the difference that I can't fix:
Say I have a polyline that's 4' in length and I want to change it to 5'..
Before, I would grab one end, move my cursor in the direction to lengthen it, and just type 12" and hit enter. It would extend the line 12".
Now if I do that, it changes the length of the polyline to 12", I would have to enter 5' instead. This is all well and dandy, but when I'm lengthening something (or shortening) and I don't know the length of the line it's definitely a pain.
1 other simple issue:
I can't seem to get the coords to change to show footage as I'm extending a line ( bottom left hand corner of window ). It just shows 1.70352+E5 and such instead of 1'-11.5". coords 0,1 and 2 do not change it.
Thanks in advance for your help guys, I'm definitely a n00b at this program and I'm not using it to even 1/100th of its potential and I'm envious of your skills and knowledge 🙂
Thanks
Tom
