Content Creation
Guidelines
In this guide the term content refers generically to various types of elements that you can
create to customize your installation of AutoCAD Architecture. These elements can be
style-based or symbol-based and include items such as plot style tables, layers, layer key styles,
layer standards, and drawing template files. While there are many ways in which you can
create and structure your custom content, there are several standards and conventions (both
documented and de-facto) that you can follow to make your custom tools more efficient and
more portable between different environments and organizations. This document is not
step-by-step guide for creating custom content; instead it focuses on identifying the relevant
standards, conventions and best practices.
General Content Standards and Conventions
It is important to understand the various types of content, where they are stored
and how they are made accessible to users. AutoCAD Architecture includes
support for various CAD standards. Understanding how these are applied will
assist you in creating your own customized content that works with the existing
standards and conventions.
Content Types
AutoCAD Architecture content takes several forms and can be stored in a variety
of locations.

of content items in AutoCAD Architecture. In addition to standard AutoCAD

drawing and display settings. All AutoCAD Architecture model and sheet
