mathew thanks for taking the time for that informative reply, I myself find HD a really powerful tool and the few autocad users I have spoken to do seem to complain that its not that friendly for architects/building designers. Its reassuring that I appear to be heading in the right direction. I did ...

I ve been using HD now for just under a year. I had absolutely no CAD experience until then but as a construction professional of some 20 years I wanted to broaden my skills base. After looking at the cost of CAD training courses at local colleges (+£1200) I decided to have a go at a bit of self tra...

I ve just been trying to import some work previously done on word and excel and was trying to save some time. I take your point tho, any new stuff will be done directly on HD.

I m trying to copy a table i ve created on excel into a drawing but if i copy and paste it the text appears but no box/lines around the table, I ve created one in word also and experienced the same problems. Anyone know a simple solution?

seconded the lack of response to these posts is alarming particularly in the current global economic climate

I was trying to incorporate an existing symbol within the drawing ( A symbol within a symbol if you like). The symbol was the insulation symbol which I think i downloaded from one of your posts way back (thanks for that by the way). Once I exploded the symbol it was then happy to save it.

please dont respond to the above as I have solved the problem

Is there a limit on the complexity of drawings that can be saved as symbols. I m trying to do a simple section thro a wall with insulation but every time I try to save it as a symbol it appears as blank in the symbols menu. I don t have any problems with saving very simple objects.

Anyone else have any problems rotating plans etc. I was working on a project last night and every time i tried to rotate a floor plan 90 deg it would either crash or the rotated image would have a massive line projecting from a wall that I could nt delete, the programme would then go on to crash. I ...

I noticed you asked for ideas for your the new version of high design. A cavity wall option would be a really good idea.

Anyone know any good links to websites that have good cad blocks.

cheers

is there anyway of creating a hatch for the wall command that indicates it as a cavity wall i.e brickwork cavity blockwork without having to draw the walls twice which i find quite tricky

thanks i'll give it a try

New user would like to know if there is any way of importing text from word onto a drawing. I have a standard construction spec that i would like to copy onto my drawings
