template that is relatively close to what you need and make modifications
to it.
■ Modify existing display configurations and display sets before creating
new ones.
■ Do not create new display representations for objects unless you absolutely
have to. Many times you can find an existing display representation that
you are not using that you can modify to suite your needs. Remember that
every display representation that you create is one that you have to manage.
NOTE Remember that display control is drawing-specific. Changes that you intend
to be part of your office standard should be made in the drawing template. You
can use the Display Manager to copy display configurations, display sets, and
display representations between drawings.
IMPORTANT If you create a new display configuration that uses an existing display
representation that has been modified, you must remember to copy both the
display configuration and the modified display representation to your template.
When you copy the display configuration to the template the associated display
representations and display sets will only be copied with it if they do not already
exist in the template. When you manually copy a display set or a display
representation into a template that already contains display sets and representations
with the same name, you will be prompted to overwrite the existing definitions.
Level of Detail
Level of detail should always be a consideration when creating new content
objects and new display representations. By default there are three display
configurations that address level of detail provided in the AutoCAD
Architecture template drawings.
Design Scale [Metric Units in Brack-
ets]
Display Configuration
1/4”=1’-0” [1:50]or greaterHigh Detail
1/8”=1’-0” [1:100]Medium Detail
1/16”=1’-0” [1:200] or smallerLow Detail
NOTE You may decide that the default display configurations are not appropriate
for your preferred graphic standards. You can create additional display
configurations and modify the existing ones to accommodate your own standards.
