About Converting Area Group Templates to Zone Templates

If you open a drawing from a previous version of AutoCAD Architecture 2024 toolset that has area group templates in it, the area group templates will be automatically converted to zone templates. The following table maps area group template properties to zone template properties:

Area group template property Zone template property Value/Default value
Name Name Existing value
Description Description Existing value
Notes/Reference Docs Notes/Reference Docs Existing notes and attached documents
List Definition N/A
Note: In previous versions of the software, name definitions could be attached to zone templates. Now, list definitions are attached to the space style or the zone style.
Style Style Area group styles from legacy drawings are automatically converted to zone styles and attached to the corresponding node in the zone template.
