tommy1 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Fixing to help someone local on a project. He's renting Pro version. I'm using Premier version. My questions are as follows: 1. Does Pro have layer sets and annotation sets? If not, then what does he see if I use layer sets and annotation sets? 2. If I do a multi page layout, will he be able to open it?

I send Home Designer users plans done in Chief all the time without issue, but have not sent a layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy1 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 I'm trying to meet with him. I've helped someone before using Pro but it's been a while and forgot my limitations. I thought I saw somewhere that Pro was now going to have annotation sets but maybe not. I thought about the trial version but if I can meet with him or do an online meeting, that will not be necessary. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidJPotter Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 The .layout files in Chief and Home Designer Pro are NOT compatible: Home Designer Pro's .layout file only supports a single printed page at a time, whereas Chief Premier's .layout file supports up to 1,000 potential pages per layout file. Home Designer Pro can only view one page per layout file, even if it, being a Chief Architect layout file, may contain multiple pages. Only the plan files are compatible within a single version year.

tommy1 Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Thanks David. I remember that now. Fixing to look at his program later. I can see this is going to be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potential_Custmr Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Being a user of HDP in a similar situation... my CA designer has the X11 Beta or maybe it is just X11 now. Since he did the plan in X11 Beta I could not read it with my HDP 2019. I have put the project on hold until HDP 2020 comes out as I want to learn from the project. Anyway, for me this was inconvenient. I believe HDP 2020 is due out by March 31st, but I haven't been able to confirm that beyond it being mentioned as a strong possibility in a conversation with HDP support. Perhaps my experience will be useful in your situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
