Layer Key Overrides

I set up my layer keys and duct system definitions with some overrides. It worked great in ABS 3.0, but in 2004 the overrides will not work, everything comes in on the base layer set by the layer key.

- ex. Duct layer key is set to H-Duct-Sup and overrides are set to H-Duct-Ret, etc. but when I use a system with an override it will come in on the H-Duct-Sup Layer.

Tom

P.S.
Is the only way around this to create multiple duct layer keys for each system type?

Tom -

Please make sure that you have a - preceding the Duct and Ret overrides so
that the override dialog looks like the attached image.

Nope, the Major and Minor fields need to have - in front of them.
