Hello Everyone
Many thanks for all your input, especially CAB who has triumphed again, Yes ADT does this auto-magically, but what I have found when I last used it 2 years ago, it did not put the room name into the elevations, to put cream on top of the cake, would it be possible to grab the plan room name and park it into the elevation somewhere. I do this manually i.e. copy and paste but when the plan room has attributes within it and I run Autocad extattr.xls macro within Excel, it will double up the information, so what I do is "burst" the elevation room name. This looses the attributes but keeps the font exactly the same. This program will save more time the bigger the building, i.e. more rooms = more time saved.
A 45 bedroom house equated to 198 faces of elevations, even if it took me just 1 minute that adds up to 3+ hours, just drawing rectangles.
Many thanks again for all your help
It makes you wonder what else can be "pinched" out of ADT
all the best
