Layer Styles in Architecture 2008

I have some drawings which were created in ADT 2006(I think), using the BS-1192-Descriptive Layer Standards. This was great as walls/doors/windows etc were automatically put onto A-Wall-G/A-Door-G/A-Window-G.

Since installing 2008, any walls/doors etc go automatically onto BS1192-Cisfb layers (A210G/A315g etc).

How can I change the default layer style back to Descriptive? I have tried purging the layer key style for Cisfb, and dragging Descriptive from another drawing, but all wall/door/windows etc just default to layer 0.

Any help appreciated!

If you set this in your template it will come in using descriptive so you do not have to reset for each new drawing.
Hope this helps

Thanks for this. Absolute GOLD!

Now I just need to work out how to modify the descriptive layer standard to suit my colours!
