Window Record - Window Type

[Kevin]

How do I include the window type, ie: "Config." in my window schedule? I would think that this would be a part of the default record.

When I select Casement, or Double Hung, or Fixed for a window, I need that information to show in my window schedule.

I can add this to the wish list.

Meanwhile, you will need to edit the Window Record and add the field "Configuration" and type in the configuration in the data field when you insert a window.

Thank you Katie.

When I add a new field and hence a new column to the Door and Window Schedules, the new column is placed at the far right of the schedule. Is there a way to edit the location of new and existing columns in the schedule?

Go to File>Architect Preferences.

Select VA Records and Schedules.

Add the field to the window record it the top section.

When you include the config field, and click on OK, you'll get a message asking if you want the window schedule to be updated also. Select Yes.

Then go to the Window Schedule in the bottom section and click on Edit.

You can adjust where the fields are displayed in the window schedule thru this dialog box.

Thank you Katie.

I already did what you suggested before I wrote my message. I do not see any method to position the columns other than the heading and subheading fields.

By default, the program places the Window heading at the left. Then comes Size and then General. I logically assumed that if I gave my new column the heading of Window that it would find itself in that area. This is not what happens.

The schedule now creates another Window heading at the right of my schedule so that I have two Window headings with my new column of Config. under that second major heading of Window.

Is this how I am supposed to change the position of columns? If it is, what am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your help.
