Use this procedure to specify a keynote for an architectural object by associating the keynote with the object style. The same procedure applies whether you are specifying a keynote association for the first time or changing an existing one.
Note: If you change the keynote association for an object style, it does not affect previously inserted keynotes for objects created using that style. Those objects must be re-keynoted if you want them to reflect the newly specified keynote.
If you are establishing keynote associations for a number of material definitions that are included with AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset, you may find it most efficient to work from the material definitions drawing file (located at C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA <version>\enu\Styles).
- Click
.
- In the left pane of the Style Manager, expand Architectural Objects and any subcategories as necessary to locate the object style for which you want to specify a keynote.
- Select the desired object style.
- In the Style Properties dialog box, General tab, click Select Keynote.
- In the Select Keynote dialog box, make sure the correct database is displayed in the Keynote Database field (if you are using the default keynote databases, it should be AecKeynote-Assemblies), and then select the desired keynote from the hierarchical tree view.
- Click OK twice.
The keynote is specified for the selected object style and will be used for subsequent keynote insertions for objects using that style.
