I can’t find this setting in any of the design master options. The only way I have found to show the neutral is to manual place tick marks, which opens the plans up to error.

Even at a high resolution the window takes up most of the drawing area and usually have to end up moving it off to the side to see what load information i need to input. Using dual monitors wish it would remember where the window was and open up @ that location.

What i am having to do is use the 'Erase part of device' command to delete the 2 legs, the loop command, then draw tick marks. then use the break command again.]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 16:21:03 +0000 http://forums.designmaster.biz/index.php?showtopic=1692 http://forums.designmaster.biz/index.php?showtopic=1690 Any suggestions or recommendations for modeling a 5 ton, 240 VAC single phase package heat pump, with 15kW resistance strip heat? Manufacturer states there is a 4.5 HP compressor motor, 1/3 HP condenser motor, and a 3/4 HP evaporator motor. The heat pump is rated for a 50/60 amp OCPD. The heater kit is rated for an 80 amp maximum fuse when using a separate power supply. Or if using a single power supply, the manufacturer recommends a 125 amp OCPD. The question is how to model either scenario in DME?

The equipment will show to be circuited when it is really not or vice-versa. It may have something with the equipment copy command. I assume when the copy equipment in database is used that the equipment is copied, but not the circuit information. However it does not always show this in these reports.

I have started to use DM for my demolition plans. My issue is that we enter all the devices on the existing layer system. To change the devices to the demo layer system, I either have to do one at a time, or do receptacles, then lighting, then LVD...

It would be VERY nice to have a general query multiple which would span all device types. Only the options common to all selected devices such as system, elevation, etc. would be changeable. At the very least, having the ability to group change elements from existing to demo would be GREAT!]]> Fri, 17 Jun 2011 00:05:38 +0000 http://forums.designmaster.biz/index.php?showtopic=1655 http://forums.designmaster.biz/index.php?showtopic=1654

Also, the min to max shows as .0.

1. shouldn't all values be truncated to 1 decimal place
2. unless it is zero, in which case it should be expanded to a non-zero value?]]> Thu, 09 Jun 2011 18:13:08 +0000 http://forums.designmaster.biz/index.php?showtopic=1653 http://forums.designmaster.biz/index.php?showtopic=1652
The problem is that DM won't let me connect 120v loads to the center leg. Is there any way to override this?

My work around was to call it a 120/208v and use the text mask in Express tools to block out the 208 and replace it with 240v.

The load calcs are off, but since I'm replacing the service entrance and can have the electrician fix the error, that's no big deal.]]> Mon, 23 May 2011 22:23:55 +0000 http://forums.designmaster.biz/index.php?showtopic=1652 http://forums.designmaster.biz/index.php?showtopic=1651

If I select the home run the device also is selected and deleted. if I use the "erase part of device" the tickmarks remain and those are connected to the device too...

2) Can DM calculate the conduit size required if multiple circuits are to be run in the same conduit? If I select a single device/single circuit and draw a home run it shows the conduit size, if I select multiple devices on different circuits it no longer shows the conduit size.
