About Using Window Tools to Create Windows

In the Tools Palette, select regular window tools from the Window tab and corner window tools from the Corner Window tab. From the Tools provided with AutoCAD Architecture 2024 toolset, you can quickly place windows by selecting a window tool with a specific window style and other predefined properties. You can use the tool with all of its default settings, or you can change any properties that are not controlled by the style. You can also use window tools to create new windows by applying tool properties to existing door/window assemblies, openings and doors.

The following palettes contain one or more window tools:

Tool palette… Contains…
Design a window tool for the Standard window style and default settings for other window properties

Corner Window a window tool for sample corner window styles, with default properties appropriate for each corner window style
Custom tool palettes created by your CAD manager window tools with window styles and properties that are customized for your projects or office standards

When you place windows using windows or corner window tools, you can use the default settings of the tool, or you can change settings for any windows properties that are not controlled by the style.
