    RoyJames's post in Repeat command? was marked as the answer   
    Hello Designer_Ryan,
     
    It depends on what kind of an action you are trying to repeat. There is a function in Home Designer called Sticky Mode which allows an edit tool such as Copy/Paste to remain active after being used. The option is typically found on the left-hand side of the edit toolbar (the icon looks like a pin). When selected, the tool will not go away after being used.
     
    In Chief Architect Premier, the Esc key will cycle back through recently used tools, but this is currently not available in Home Designer.
     
    I hope this helps!

    Hello jlliles87,
     
    You should be able to use the Reference Display to show your plumbing fixtures on the floor below and change their line style using the Change Floor/Reference dialog (Tools->Floor/Reference Display->Change Floor/Reference). Use the Define button next to Reference Display Options to control what shows and in what way.
     
    To learn more about the Reference Display:

    Hello SandraH,
     
    It appears that the Auto Roof Return is behaving oddly. I would send a copy of this plan to our Tech Support team so they can take a look.
     
    In the meantime, I believe I have a workaround for you. If you change the Auto Roof Return settings from Full return to Gable return, then increase the Length value until the ends meet (9.5' seemed about right for the plan you attached), it should behave like a Full return.
     

     
    Hopefully that works for you!
