I am happy - but on my desktop I have icons for Project data and Dietrichs for both for 5.04 and 6.02. But on the C-drive there is only one Dietrichs folder "Dietrichs05" So maybe everything is ok - and I can delete the 5.04 icons on my desktop, and make no other changes??

I made an update installation - but perhaps the result looks like an parallel installation?? Why?

Finally I took the time to install my new 6.02 on my desktop computer. I choose update installation in order to update from 5.04. In settings and paths, most path refer to version 5 - why? And version 5.04 icons on the desktop and the program is still there. Why is it not replaced with 6.02??

No one can answer the above question??

Another question could be: Can I send just drawings to her? I mean, she make a new project in Dietrich, but this project is empty - no constructions or anything. I send her only the drawings, and when se put the drawings in the project folder, so when she opens PlanCad, she can work with the drawings??

Well, i have renamed the 25 mb pla, and now it is much better.

Thank you very much for all your help!!

So - there is nothing I can do about it, to make it work better? It is only this project that is a problem. But if in general the program could be faster with a little programming from the developers, then of course, it could be nice.

Ok - have send it now.

What is your e-mail address??

Æææh, I don't know - I don't know exactly what you mean. I don't think so.

No, I don't have antivirus software on this computer...

I don't have antivirus on this computer.

So something else is wrong - because my computer is quite strong - even though it is "only" a laptop. Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 3GB Ram etc.

Can it be because I have several drawing images - normally I would have one for each plan, one for all walls etc. But here I have more versions for walls. And I am even not finished. Next is horizontal division and roof. Is it possible to delete the images that one take out from Dietrichs?? (like the walls, t.ex.).

Well I have more than one pla-file (in fact 20). The last is 25 mb, and in total they are 57 mb.

No one have an idea about what can be wrong?

Well - I get a timberlist if a make images for all stories. But now I have images, that are not necessary, and that might make the function "Insert stored image very slow (see also other topic).

Hi.

The function "Insert stored image" is working very slowly. I have to wait quite long time ½-1 minute, before before I get into the dialog box, where I choose the image to insert. Is it possible to delete some of the images? Would it help?

Suddenly there is no timberlist to be inserted on the drawing. This happens for interior walls where I have chosen to get layer 0, 1 & 2 as 3 seperate images. For wall 25, t.ex. there are following images: GF 2 Wall 25 (empty), GF 2 Wall 25_0, GF 2 Wall 25_1 & GF 2 Wall 25_2.

When I took out the drawings from Dietrischs I choose the option wall selection to be able to select only interior walls. What can have happened!!??

I know there are good ways to copy a drawing in Plan-Cad, and to change the drawing info. But I was thinking of another way:

If you have 2 stories that are completely equal (perhaps with a few differences on a few walls), I was thinking about the following way to copy the production drawings for 1. floor to 2. floor, t.ex. Simply copy the .plf files and change the numbers, so they are correct. In this way all drawings are copied at once, and it is much faster, than to copy drawing by drawing in Plan-Cad.

Perhaps this could also be a easier way to insert wall drawings - t.ex if the plan has changed and some extra walls are inserted. Then to have the wall drawings coming in the correct order you just rename the plf numbers so you leave space for 2 new walls at the correct place.

Would this work?

I still have the problem with D-Cad, and it is quite irritating.

The mouse pointer does not freeze - the computer is "thinking" If I press the mouse button the Dietrichs screen fades into white - so that the lines etc. looks like looking through glass. I don't know how to explain, the screen does not become completely white, but it fades a little. And esc does not help either.

OK - it seems to work quite well when she sends drawings to me for check, and I send drawings to her with comments.

Next: I am finished to work t.ex. with walls for a house and I want to send this position to her, so she can make production drawings of these walls. I have taken out ground plans and wall drawings in the Dietrichs construction software. with function 1-01-6 for walls. Is this saved in the position?

So all I have to do is to send the packed position to her, and when she makes drawings, she will be able to insert the images on the drawings?
