NOTE Fire rating lines that have been inserted with fire rating tools can be modified
in the drawing and saved back as tools on a tool palette. By default, a fire rating
line tool created that way will have the same layer key, layer overrides, linetype,
and line width as the original tool that was used to create the annotation symbol
in the drawing.
Match Line Tools
Match line annotations are used for annotating a drawing. Formerly available
as content blocks in DesignCenter, these annotations are now available through
tools on the tool palettes and in Content Browser.
In this release of AutoCAD Architecture, match lines are converted from
DesignCenter content blocks to true tools with tool properties.
Match line tools
By default, all match line tools are set to be annotative, which means that the
annotations you insert with these tools are controlled by annotative scaling.
For more information, see Annotation Scaling on page 3637.
IMPORTANT If you have legacy drawings with old DesignCenter-based annotation
symbols in them, then the old block definition will continue to be used for new
tool-based blocks if the blocks are identically named. In such a case, either change
the Annotative setting manually by using BEDIT, or rename the old block before
inserting new tool-based annotation symbols into the drawing.
You can find match line tools in these locations in a default US install of
AutoCAD Architecture:
â–  In the Annotation tool palette
â–  In Content Browser in these catalogs:
â–  Stock Tool Catalog
â–  Sample Palette Catalog (Imperial or Metric), under
