Door & Window Replacement

[Jim Smith]

Can one replace a Door or Window PIO in a wall with a Symbol similar to the way one may change Symbols in the OIP?

If not I'll add it to the Wish List.

If inserted AS a symbol, yes, but not if its a Door in Wall or Window in Wall as you normally would have it.

I think that Door or Window "Styles" would need to be implemented to properly let you replace things like those in that manner properly, which I am also in favor of.

Thanks, I'll add it to the list.

It would be a really cool feature to have!

The way to do it is to explode the window you want and convert it to a symbol then you can replace it with another symbol. Make sure you have the same insertion point.

Oh I get that. Or I could use a symbol to start with. The workflow we follow is to use the PIO as place holder that is fast, and can be moved resized etc until DD is finished. The doors may have to be changed from there based on the actual door mfg, code requirements, who the client's brother-in-law is etc, etc. Having the ability to do this more quickly and effeciently rather than one door at a time would be a real time saver. Anything that helps to eliminate errors is a good thing.
