If users are going to manually load the catalog into their content browser
library, pathing is not critical; it simply needs to be placed in a location that
all users can browse to. If you choose to automate the loading of the palette
by creating a catalog install file, you need to ensure that the network location
of the catalog file is accessed in the same way by all users. As with other types
of network-based content, carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages
of both mapped network drives and UNC pathing.
If you need to control the ability of users to make modifications to the tool
catalog, you can store it in a read-only folder. Users will still be able to access
the catalog to use the tools, however only those people with permission to
write to that location will actually be able to make changes to it.
Display Control
The AutoCAD Architecture display control system is flexible and powerful
and is drawing-based. Therefore, your default display settings should be
established in your template drawing. The templates that come with AutoCAD
Architecture already have much of the work involved in setting up a display
system done for you. While they may require some adjustments to conform
to your office or project standards, you should, in most cases, start with the
default templates and make modifications to the existing settings rather than
try to create a display system from scratch.
Display Hierarchy and By Material Display Control
Display control of individual objects can occur at three levels: drawing default,
style overrides, and object overrides. When you define an object style you
should only apply style overrides when absolutely necessary. Frequently, you
can use material assignments to control the display of linework and hatching
components of objects. For this reason, many objects have By Material set as
a drawing default for their display representations.
Display Control Customization
Like most aspects of AutoCAD Architecture, the display system can be
customized. There are a few things that you should keep in mind before doing
so, however.
Best Practices for Customizing the Display System

scratch can be laborious and time-consuming. It is better to start with a
