Why is my dimension text getting cut off in section reports?

Fix section report dimension text being cut off in plotted reports by increasing the image padding MS Word uses when importing Roof Wizard images (requires Roof Wizard post V10.10).

Updated over a week ago

⚠️ The issue

When you plot the section reports, sometimes the dimension text is “cut off.”

This is caused by the way MS Word handles the importing of the image files from Roof Wizard and the “padding” (space) around the image.

It looks something like this, and renders significant parts of the report less than fully functional.

✅ The fix (increase image padding)

You can improve this by adjusting the padding around the imported image as it is extracted from Roof Wizard.

📄 Step-by-step

  1. In your ..\User folder, create a simple text file called:
    ImagePAD.DAT

  2. Open Notepad and type a number of the order of (say):
    2000

  3. Nothing else — just the number.

  4. Save the file as ImagePAD.DAT in the ..\User folder.

  5. You may adjust this number to fine tune the appearance of your report.

Run your job again and it will look something like this:
