Fixture Layouts in DesignCenter
Fixture layouts are located in the Plumbing Fixtures folder (under
Imperial/Design/Mechanical). They are unique because you can drag them
into your drawings and then edit the components of the layout by clicking
Insert tab ➤ Reference panel ➤ ➤ Edit Reference. For more information,
see Adding Fixture Layouts from DesignCenter on page 3876 and Modifying
Fixture Layouts on page 3892.
NOTE Fixture layouts are intended to provide samples from which to create your
own office standards for restroom design. All the components can be modified to
meet project and code requirements, and then added to DesignCenter
™
for access.
The samples provided do not necessarily meet jurisdictional regulations or ADA
(Americans with Disabilities Act) requirements.
The following notes and hints apply when working with the fixture layouts
available in DesignCenter. For more information, see Modifying Fixture Layouts
on page 3892.
■ The layout files are custom content set to the Drawing content type.
■ The layout files have no layer key because all objects have hard-coded
layers within the file. You can change the layers as required.
■ The layout files are not set to Explode on Insert because you can place
them at only one rotation and orientation (not mirrored) when you drag
them into a drawing, and it is easier to reposition them as unexploded
blocks.
■ To set rotation and mirroring before insertion, double-click the icon to
display the standard AutoCAD Insert dialog box instead of dragging the
content.
■ The rotation angle and scale (for mirroring) can be set in the Insert dialog
box or on the command line. If you use the command line, you can see
the result of each option before actually inserting the content. You can
apply multiple settings on the command line, even though the prompt
says “Specify insertion point:” after the first one. You can still type another
X, Y, or R.
■ Use X = -1 or Y = -1 to mirror the content.
■ Use the node object snap to position individual stall and urinal layouts
next to each other. The toilet partitions and screens are inserted with
centered baselines, so the node snap places them correctly.
