P.S.
Forgot to say the crooked wall was in fact a roof eaves line!
Perhaps you could send me DXF file back and I can see if it remains intact!

Hi Cric,

I have attached the DXF file but this should not be any different - it is what you sent. I have also attached a BLD file with the DXF inserted and showing the dimensions - at least it does for me! It will be interesting to see if it does for you!

... and now I have lost my metric catalogue!
When I open the metric catalogue the box to the right continues to show imperial sizes but if I select an item and go to its properties they are in metric!?******?!!!!
In particular, when I first downloaded the programme, I was amazed and delighted to find a 600mm masonry wall which was just perfect for me! And now it has gone!!!!!!!
First - what do you mean by "lost your metric catalogue"? Is it no longer on your computer hard drive? Can you not see it when you go to File / Catalogues / Open?

The names of the objects (eg 4" wall) in the catalogue on the right of the screen are the words that appear in the catalogue - in other words you are currently connected to the Imperial catalogue not the metric one.  If you insert or edit an object and it is metric, that means you have set the program to Metric (in Settings / Program Settings / Units of Measure). That will control how the program works (in your case settings/dimensions etc will be in metric) but the Catalogue will control how the objects are named on the screen (in your case Imperial - 4" Wall etc instead of 100mm Wall).

What you need to do is connect to the Mertic Catalogue (File / Catalogues / Open) and the names of things will appear in metric also. You may also find the 600mm wall is still there in the Metric Catalogue (but not in the Imperial one you are currently connected to). If the metric catalogue is not there then search for it on your computer (should be called "TurboFLOORPLAN_Master Catalog Metric.bdb") and copy it back to the Catalogue folder ( see Settings Program Settings / General for the folder location).
