US Standard for Window Openings

I thought the newest (3/3/05) Library update corrected window symbols in elevation/3D? Anyone else notice?
This is backwards, right? Should I move to Oz?

Working Here in California on A PC.

I am still hoping for a "fix" on this issue though.

Has anyone on a Mac updated to the new library ...and had the window swings show correctly (US std.)?

It's right here:

I am on a Mac and have updated the library and as far as I can tell, they have not been updated. I also use Door/Window Builder which has the option of showing the swing either way - users choice!

So, I finally looked up your longitude and lattitude, Marc ... didn't know there was internet much less roads there. 😉 Or, is that where you'd rather be? 😉 Fresh snow lately?

Well, I do sometimes wish there were no cell towers... a few new inches up high. It rained in town last night.

Has anyone on a Mac been able to dowload the new library from the link? I am just taken to a new page with the stuffit code and do not get a usable download.

Try right clicking the Mac link and: "Download linked file as.." Did that to me too (The Rt. click option may vary depending on your browser).

Thanks, I remember that being mentioned, but forgot. That's what makes this such a useful forum.
