To Specify Default Display Settings

You can specify default display settings using the Style Manager or the Display Manager.

Tip: In the Style Manager and the Display Manager, the entire collection of unfiltered display components are visible and available for editing. In contrast, on the Display tab of the Properties palette, the display properties are filtered based on the object that is selected in the drawing area.

Using the Style Manager

1. Click Manage tab Style & Display panel Style Manager .
2. Expand the desired objects folder, such as HVAC Objects.
3. Expand the system definitions for that object.
4. Select a system, and then click the Display Properties tab in the right pane.
5. Under Display Representations, double-click the display representation where you want to specify defaults (for example, Plan).
   Tip: You can also click the display representation and then click for the same result.
6. In the Display Properties dialog box, click a display properties for one of the display components, and make the desired changes.

Using the Display Manager

1. Click Manage tab Style & Display panel Display Manager .
2. Expand the Representations by Object folder.
3. Double-click an object in the list.
4. Click a display representation listed under the object where you want to specify defaults.
   Tip: The selected object and display representation will control the display properties available for editing. For example, a device in a model representation only displays the Layer/Color/Linetype tab. However, a device in a plan representation displays the additional Hatching tab.
5. In the right pane on the Layer/Color/Linetype tab, click a display property for one of the display components (such as Linetype), and make the desired changes.
