Title: object styles
Post by: ryandk on August 25, 2004, 04:55:09 PM

I have a instance where I have a door style (hinged-single (exist)).  If I insert it from the tool palette everything is fine.  Correct layer, right linetype, etc.  Next I insert a door from the palette labeled (hinged-single (demo)).  This looks correct as well.  Problem being, if you check out what style the doors are referencing they are both the same (hinged-single (exist)).  Now, just to confuse myself a bit further I used the style manager to bring that same style over from the file they are stored in.  I used the generic door tool and changed the style to hinged-single (exist).  This one however was not correct.  It looked like a regular door.  So now I have three doors, all different layers, colors, opening percentages, but they are all the same style.

1.  I didn't know this was possible, and it goes against their recommended workflow oddly enough.
2.  In order to fix this problem does anybody know how to make a certain style come in on a certain layer?  Doors come in on AR_Door, but what if I need the demo style to come in on AR_Door_Demo?

Thanks,
Ryan

The door styles can be edited manually to place them on the required layers,  you would need to use the style editor for that.
Also bear in mind that if a door style was overridden, and you copy insert that door style, the overrides will come in as well.
