2010 ACA Renovation Advantage Pack

I started a new drawing from a basic template.  Threw in some walls, doors and windows on the A-Wall layer.  As soon as I turn on Renovation Mode, it automatically changes those walls, doors and windows to "existing".  Why is that? What if I wanted those to remain new walls?  Do I then have to use the renovation tool to select and make them new?

 

I am able to understand the basics of this tool through spending a day figuring it out.  Has anyone found training videos for this tool?  All I have found is the basic advertisement video put out by AutoDesk.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

I believe it assumes all entities are existing when you select reno mode.  You will have to select and change to your "new work" layers.

I am trying to erase some objects and when I do it changes them from existing to demo.  I really want to delete them.

Haven't figured out how to yet.

I have all the layers set up the way I want them...  There has to be a setting somewhere that allows you to retain them.  You'd think anyway.

 

To solve your problem:

Turn Renovation Mode off, then delete them.  If you keep deleting them with it on, you'll have multiple items.
