Tools
Tools represent the individual objects you can add to a drawing. A tool contains
creation parameters for the object it represents. When you add an object with
a specific tool, the object has the settings you defined in the tool. The use of
tools speeds up the design process and enhances consistency across a project.
For example, you might define a wall tool that contains the CMU 8 Furring
style and has automatic cleanup and a baseline offset of 1". Whenever you
add a wall with this wall tool, the wall has the CMU 8 Furring style, it cleans
up automatically, and it has an offset of 1".
