To Edit In-Place Door and Window Assembly Divisions

Use this procedure to edit divisions using in-place editing with the Edit Grid grip. With in-place editing, you can edit the door/window assembly directly and interactively in the drawing area, and later save the changes to the door/window assembly or door/window assembly style.

  1. Select a door/window assembly on which you want to edit divisions on screen with in-place editing.
  2. Specify the mode in which to edit the door/window assembly:
    If you want to… Then…
    edit this instance of the door/window assembly click Door/Window Assembly tabModify panelDesign Rules drop-downTransfer To Object.
    edit the door/window assembly style click Door/Window Assembly tabModify panelDesign Rules drop-downRevert to Style Design Rules. If this option is not available, the design rules are already style-based for the door/window assembly.
  3. Click the Edit Grid grip.
    Note: Alternatively, you can click Door/Window Assembly tab Modify panel Division drop-down Edit.
  4. Enter d (Division in place) and press Enter.

    For example, if you want to edit the primary grid, select an edge on the outer door/window assembly frame.

    Note: You have entered the in-place editing session now. You can see this from the faded color of all objects in the drawing, as well as from the different grips at your disposal. Note that while you are in the in-place editing session, you have only limited editing access to other commands in the drawing. Before working on other objects, you should first end the in-place editing session.
