The fact that Haloed lines aren't working could be any number of things.
There are some settings on the Building Systems Crossed objects tab in
options that control the display of haloed lines. The display of these lines
is also dependant on some layers in the template (M-Halo-High, M-Halo-Subd).
The system definitions also have overrides applied to them so that the
"hidden" linework will be drawn on the correct layer.
If you want to change the display of the diffuser then you can edit the top
view block, either in the template, or in the part definition in the
catalog. Which of the definitions you need to edit depends on what views you
will be using. The default view (in the template that shipped with the
product) for MvParts is 2 Line and in the ABS Floor view, if you are in plan
you are looking at the Top view, so you would edit the view block that
applies to 2 Line - Top.

When I insert them into a dwg. started with the template, the diffusers
don't break around the flex duct above. I think I chan ged some option
somewhere.
