Specifying Keynotes
AutoCAD Architecture provides pre-specified keynotes for detail components
and many architectural objects that are included with the software. You can
change these associations to specify different keynotes from either the
AecKeynotes or AecKeynotes-Assemblies databases or from a database that
you have loaded. You can also specify keynotes for individual components of
architectural objects by associating keynotes with material definitions. Because
material definitions supplied with the software are not size-specific, individual
keynotes are not pre-specified. Instead, each material definition is
pre-associated with a particular group from the MasterFormat 2004 scheme.
This streamlines the process of locating the appropriate keynote when you
want to specify one for the material.
The method used to specify a keynote depends on the type of object. For
architectural objects and their components, you associate keynotes with
individual styles and material definitions using the Style or Material Definition
Properties dialog box, which can be accessed through the Style Manager or
from the context menu of the object. For detail components, you use the
Detail Component Manager to access and edit the Keynote field values.
Specifying Keynotes for Object Styles
Use this procedure to specify a keynote for an architectural object by associating
the keynote with the object style. The same procedure applies whether you
are specifying a keynote association for the first time or changing an existing
one. Note, however, that if you change the keynote association for an object
style, it does not affect previously inserted keynotes for objects created using
that style. Those objects must be re-keynoted if you want them to reflect the
newly specified keynote.
If you are establishing keynote associations for a number of the object styles
that are included with AutoCAD Architecture, you may find it most efficient
to work from the Styles drawing files (located at C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA
2011\enu\Styles).
