Modify existing display configurations and display sets before creating new ones.
■
Don’t create new display representations for objects unless you absolutely have to. Many times you can find an
existing display representation that you aren’t using that you can modify to suite your needs. Remember that every
display representation that you create is one that you have to manage.
NOTE Remember that display control is drawing-specific. Changes that you make that you intend to be part of your office
standard should be made in your drawing template. You can use the Display Manager to copy display configurations, display
sets and display representations between drawings.
IMPORTANT If you create a new display configuration that uses an existing display representation that has been modified,
you must remember to copy both the display configuration and the modified display representation to your template. When
you copy the display configuration to the template the associated display representations and display sets will only be copied
with it if they do not already exist in the template. When you manually copy a display set or a display representation into a
template that already contains display sets and representations with the same name, you will be prompted to overwrite the
existing definitions.
Level of Detail
Level of detail should always be a consideration when creating new content objects and new display representations.
By default there are three display configurations that address level of detail provided in the AutoCAD Architecture
template drawings:
Design Scale [Metric Units in Brackets] Display Configuration
1/4”=1’-0” [1:50]or greater High Detail
1/8”=1’-0” [1:100] Medium Detail
1/16”=1’-0” [1:200] or smaller Low Detail
NOTE You may decide that the default display configurations are not appropriate for your preferred graphic standards. You
can create additional display configurations and modify the existing ones to accommodate your own standards.
Architectural objects frequently include hatch patterns parameters as part of their display control. You should make
sure that the hatch pattern scale and type is appropriate for the level of detail a given display representation is meant
to address. Also remember to address hatch pattern scale and type in your material definitions, as it is a best practice
to assign material definitions to style-based components. Hatch patterns that represent annotation standards (diagonal
lines that represent brick in plan, for example), should be scaled appropriately for your level of detail. Hatch patterns
that represent geometry (bricks in elevation, for example), should be given a scale of 1 unit.
Style-Based Content
Style-based content in AutoCAD Architecture is classified under one of three general groups:
■
Architectural Objects: Traditional architectural object geometry.
■
Documentation Objects: Any style-based object that is specifically and uniquely used for annotation and
documentation purposes.
■
Multi-Purpose Objects: Any style-based object that could be used to help define either a documentation object
style or an architectural object style.
Many styles can be used to create style-based tools on a palette. Others are used as nested styles or “substyles”. All styles
and definitions can be edited from the Style Manager and stored in a central style library drawing.
TIP You can assign a pre-defined keynote from your keynote database to any style that you create in the “General” tab of
the style definition.
