Window Schedules:

Is this true:

You can not do a schedule/window list with the windows to scale?

try making sure the scale of the saved view is set correctly. (if you drag and drop from the project map the view scale will probably be 1:1)
Then the cell that contains the window must be large enough to take the window.

No.

The truth is, that the largest window has to fit in the field, and all the others will be at the same scale.

Which is not always the scale that you want ... or the scale that it should be.

as the others have said - no, you can't. it's an awful limitation that makes a powerful feature totally useless.

however: you can produce to-scale door/window schedules using cadimage's Door & Window Builder. the workflow is a little different, but the doors and windows that can be produced with DWB far exceed anything the default doors and windows can do anyway . . .

it's worth investing in . . .

there are so many fundamental flaws to the door/window schedule that it is a joke. There has to be a better way of producing window and door elevations. This is basic to a decent set of CDs. you can get the elevations to scale by using more than one schedule dependant on the width of the window but this doesn thelp if you have ganged some windows together to achieve a result

It is bad enough having to making individual selction window to do an internal elevation without the thought of doing this for door and windows.
