Door Inside Frame Dimension

[kjskoog]

Using Architecture 2016. I was able to set my door dimension to "Inside Frame" in Architecture 2015 now it defaults to "Outside Frame". I went to my Options but do not see the "AEC DWG Default" tab where I used to change that option. Where do I find it now? I want it to default to "Inside Frame".

Thanks in advance

The AEC tabs in the Options dialog are nearly unchanged since at least the 2010 release.  (The order of the tabs varies, and there are additions to cover added features.)  I vaguely recall that at one time you could make such a setting in a dialog, possibly in the Options dialog, but not in recent versions.  You can make the setting on the Properties palette.  It is also available as a setting in a Door tool on the tool palettes, although we have ours set to use the default ("--").  To change the default, type DOORADD at the command prompt and press the ENTER key.  Then change the value of the Measure to property under the Dimensions category on the Design tab of the Properties palette to the desired value and place a Door.  That will be the new default value, untils such time as you change it when placing a Door.

You can change the value for all previously placed Doors by selecting them and changing the Measure to property value on the Properties palette.

Thank you. The DOORADD command worked.
