Creating print area's
Hi all, been awhile since I bothered you so here goes.. 1) How do I create print areas within a larger drawing? I.e select a room Vs the whole floor plan?

Putting openings / breaks in walls
Can I break a wall with 1.8.5? I am doing floor plans for a remodel job and it would be nice to put breaks I.e. openings in walls. Only way i have found is to erase the wall and then draw in walls of the correct length.
TIA
Roy
TIA

good idea except the mouse is set-up for a lefty so it makes getting to the other shift key more difficult.
May have to try Matt's idea since my fat fingers & brain keep getting messed up.

Drawing straight lines
Hi All,
is there some way to draw straight lines other than holding down the "shift" key? I frequently hit the "return" key instead of the "shift" key.
TIA

Re: newbie with 1.8.5 questions
nice to hear you solved your major prob, Roy when a new version of HD will be out and you will download it from Ilexsoft web site remember to simply drag n' drop the whole HighDesign folder from the .dmg archive to you Application folder... too simple to be true if, like me, you switched from Win/L...

Re: HD 1.8.5 locked up
Quick update. I received the back-up CD today and reinstalled HD to see if this would resolve this problem. Answer is no it did not. It seems that this drawing is "Locked" in the dimension mode. I.e. The button has a red border around it. Note: I can not add or alter dimensions.. Any ideas...

This problem is solved
To those of you that stated HD was either installed incorrectly or was corrupt give your selves a pat on the back. HD Tech support replied with the same answer. To my surprise I received the back-up CD today and reinstalled HD. It now appears to have the symbols libraries and that part of the proble...

Re-Install from CD
Since I also ordered the back-up CD when I purchased HD, can I use this to re-install HD on my machine? I would think that is the intention and the license ID number should be the same. Probably won't receive this till next year. Just looking for possible solutions since I think some how my initial ...

Re: newbie with 1.8.5 questions
Alex,
this could be possible, problem is HD accepted the install code once so if I try and download another copy will it allow me to use the code again? I think I am going to have to e-maill the mothership for some help on this..
Thanks
Roy

Re: newbie with 1.8.5 questions
Alessandro,
I did multiple searches and can't find the symbols library or the Highdesign.dmg folder. Since all other parts of the program appear to working I know it is here some where. I am going to keep digging. For some reason I find that a MAC is very hard to navigate through files.
thanks
