Display System
The display system in AutoCAD Architecture controls how AEC objects are presented in a
designated viewport. By specifying the display configuration in a viewport and the direction
from which to view the objects, you can produce different architectural representations. The
display system lets you produce floor plans, reflected plans, elevations, 3D models, or schematic
displays without redrawing objects.
Introduction to the Display System
The display system in AutoCAD Architecture is designed so that you only have
to draw an architectural object once. The appearance of that object then changes
automatically to meet the display requirements of different types of drawings,
view directions, or levels of detail.
Display Properties and Display Components
The view-dependent display of objects in AutoCAD Architecture is made possible
by a hierarchical system of display settings that specify display properties
(visibility, layer, color, linetype, and so on) for individual display components
of all the different types of architectural objects under all the different viewing
scenarios.
For example, a door object has 5 display components by default: Door Panel,
Frame, Stop, Swing, and Glass. (Many display components correspond directly
to the physical components of the object, but some, like Swing, do not.) For
each of these display components, the drawing default settings specify the
relevant display properties as appropriate for the drawing type. In the case of
doors, the default settings specify that the Swing component is visible in plan
and elevation views, but not in 3D views.
