Layers customization

Anonymous

I'm having trouble with the customization, we're not using the international layer so I tried to configure evevrything to fit our layers. But! ACA is using keywords when inserting blocks so I have to configure everything to fit these premade settings. That's not a problem yet. Where my troubles start is when I insert a door. Everything comes on the same layer; the panel, the swing, frame. And we have different layer for everything but I can't edit the door block wich is not even a block... I'm very lost. Maybe this is something to complex and maybe I should try to learn the whole program before trying to change everything but, if I can't change that, my boss is not going to switch for ACA wich sucks... Anyone has an idea if this is possible?

The Door object will be placed on the layer specified by the DOOR layer key in the current Layer Key Style (as modified by any active Layer Key Overrides). If you want, you can edit the Display System settings for Doors (and other objects) and change the color (if that is all that really matters), plot style or the layer to which the available subcomponents are mapped.

For Door objects in a plan-type view, the active Display Representation should have separate components for Panel, Swing and Frame. So yes, you can put each of those components of a Door object on a different layer.
