Area Name Definitions and List Definitions
Area name definitions have been converted to list definitions. A list definition
is a list of names that can be assigned to a space or zone style to ensure
consistent naming of spaces and zones across a project. For example, a list
definition could contain entries for bedroom, living room, bathroom, and so
on. When you open a drawing that contains area name definitions associated
with an area or area group, the area name definition is automatically converted
to a list definition. You can assign the list definition to the converted space
or zone through its style.
Area Group Templates and Zone Templates
Area group templates have been converted to zone templates, which provide
structure definitions for zone hierarchies. You define a zone template with a
set of subzones and content restrictions, and use it to create the zone structure
in the drawing. When you open a drawing that contains area group templates,
the area group templates are automatically converted to zone templates.
Area Evaluation and Space Evaluation
The area evaluation feature has been converted to the space evaluation feature.
Space evaluation is a documentation feature that calculates the area and
perimeter information for your finished floor plan. This information is
displayed in a separate file that you export from AutoCAD Architecture to a
spreadsheet or text processing application. Evaluation templates ensure that
the information is displayed in a consistent, structured way. Architects need
the space evaluation feature for submitting floor plans to the building
authorities and customers. Space evaluation can also be used for performing
cost estimates, assigning jobs to contractors, or organizing the facility
management of buildings.
Auto-Converting Legacy Areas to Spaces
If you have legacy drawings created in previous versions, and they contain
area objects, these areas will automatically be converted to spaces when you
open the drawing with the current software. The following table maps area
properties to space properties.
