Door/window assemblies are style-based, meaning there are preset characteristics assigned to each door/window assembly that determine its appearance and function. By changing from one style of door/window assembly to another, you can quickly study several different design options. Any changes you make to the style are reflected throughout your building, updating all door/window assemblies of that particular style. You can also apply overrides to a single door/window assembly, without changing other door/window assemblies of the same style.
A door/window assembly style controls the following properties of a door/window assembly:
- Element definitions
- Definition assignments for each element
- Materials for each element
- Display properties for each element
- Default dimensions
- Notes about the style and any associated reference files
To create, edit, copy, or purge styles, you access the Style Manager. The Style Manager provides a central location in AutoCAD Architecture 2025 toolset where you can work with styles from multiple drawings and templates.
