Window Styles
A window style is a group of properties assigned to a window that determines
the appearance and other characteristics of the window.
You can use window styles to represent standard window types for specific
jobs and drawings or for office standards. When you create or modify a window
style, the windows using the style have the settings and characteristics of the
style. Templates provided with AutoCAD Architecture contain window styles
for many standard windows. You can create your own window styles and
window types for custom windows.
Each window you create has a window style associated with it. The window
style controls window properties such as dimensions, design rules, and standard
sizes for windows. Style control means that when you change a window style,
the windows in the current drawing that use that style change globally.
The design rules are window-style properties that determine the predefined
or custom shape and window type. Window shapes such as Arch, Gothic,
Rectangular, and Round are the geometric configurations of the window.
Custom shapes, such as Hinged-Single-Full Lite, are available for particular
window types, for example a Single Casement window type. Window types,
such as Awning, Pass Through, or Casement, describe window opening
characteristics of closure, swing, and hinging.
You can create a style using default style properties or by copying an existing
style. After you create the style, you edit the style properties to customize the
characteristics of the style.
Creating Tools from Window Styles
You can create a window tool from any window style. You can drag the style
from the Style Manager onto a tool palette. You can then specify default
settings for any window created with that tool. For more information, see
Using Window Tools to Create Windows on page 1943.
