Goodies - Grid Tool - Problems!!

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi!

We're using the Grid Tool and are having a few problems...

(we're using AC11 and the file is teamworked)

1) When we return to our elevation views we're getting multiple dimension strings....5 or 6 in the same place. If we delete them, they'll show up again later on.
2) They're not showing up in our sections

We did follow the directions that came with the grid tool, along with the archiwiki about it...

SO, I need help with these things:

1) how do we fully delete the grid tool to re-insert a new one
2) what settings do we affect to make sure NO dimensions insert with the grid tool
3) what is the best method for editing an existing grid?

Any help would be appreciated!

AND, if the grid tool is not such a great idea....whats a good way to handle matching grids between the floor plan, sections, elevations...??

THANKS!!!

Ok, i'm obviously missing something here. I just installed the grid tool and am playing around with it for the first time. How do I change the linetypes, font, pen colours, etc?
I'm guessing the Grid Element Settings dialog is not configured correctly within your Work Environment. Refer to this wiki article.
