Changes made to one part of a project frequently influence other parts of the project. The following information describes the changes you can make to a construct and the effects of the changes on other parts of the building project:
-
Adding a new construct: When you add new constructs to a project, you must fill them with drawing objects or referenced elements. Also, you must create views in which to display them.
-
Changing the construct name and category (location): Constructs are referenced into views. Therefore, any name and location changes to a construct need to be updated throughout the project. To update any xref paths to the construct, repath the project.
Danger: When you repath a project that was saved in a version of
AutoCAD Architecture prior to 2010, the drawings are saved in the new file format. You will no longer be able to open these drawings in a version of
AutoCAD Architecture prior to 2010. Synchronizing a project with the project standards will also save the project drawings in the new file format.
-
Changing the level and division of a construct: If you change the level and division you may need to regenerate views.
-
Deleting a construct: If you delete a construct you may need to regenerate views.
