brigx01 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Is there a way to determine settings for the entire project for let's say windows. I want all windows shown with trim, no plan detail etc. but have to change attributes for each window in the object info palette with every insert. Likewise for receptacles and similar, I don't want to change the font for the configuration label or text size every time I place one in the drawing. I truly believe it's possible to do, just where? I work with Designer VW 2017. Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment
Guest Wes Gardner Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 For windows, you can use the new concept of PIO Styles...set what you want to remain consistent to "By Style", set what you want to be able to change to "By Instance" For receptacles, use the concept of Text Styles, setting the appropriate one for your symbol (or create your own firm-specific Text Style) Wes Quote Link to comment
brigx01 Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Wes - Thank you so much! I did a couple of trials and this is such a time saver to know! Also good for walls etc. Quote Link to comment
