How can I make a double door with different swings in Autocad Architecture 2010. The one swing must be width=100cm, and the other one must have width=50cm. Something like the attached file

You need a Door Style that, on the Design Rules tab, has a Door Type of Uneven. I do not believe that any of the out-of-the-box Door Styles use that type (but I am have not scanned through all of the tool catalogs that ship with the program in many releases, so some may have been added at some point in time). If you can not find one (or choose not to look), you can create a new Door Style (or make a copy of one that is similar - material definition assignments, etc) and edit the style. Go to the Design Rules tab, and change the Door Type to Uneven.

For doors of this type, there will be a Leaf Width property into which you can enter a dimension. Although the intial default for this for me was 1'-0", implying the Leaf Width applies to the smaller leaf, if you use one of the automatic door size properties, like DoorSize-2@WxH or DoorSize-PRWxH, the value in Leaf Width will be listed first, and the "left over" value will follow in parentheses:

3'-0"(2'-0") x 7'-0"

I like to have the main leaf value listed first, so I always make the Leaf Width value represent the wider leaf.
