Styles Management
Description
DoubleCAD™ XT Pro architectural tools are driven by styles. Individual styles may be created, modified, and managed to create specific versions of windows, for example. Styles can also provide attribute information that can appear in schedules. Many styles may be read from existing AutoCAD® Architecture .DWG drawings so that information is not lost and your intellectual property is protected.

Changes to doors, windows, and other objects may be made globally at a styles level, or locally for control over an individual part’s properties. This provides tremendous flexibility and productivity in both design and revision.

With version 2, the Styles Manager now includes many more basic window and door types, shapes, and even a Profile manager for custom shapes. Wall styles can be created for separate properties on interior or exterior walls, load bearing, or insulated walls, etc.

Rail styles for staircases can be defined with dozens of attributes for offsets, profiles, left, right, or centers of stairs, and rails can be used on flat surfaces such as balconies, or even defined with the right height and used as a parametric fence.

The Style Manager allows for the definition of Text, Table, Schedule, Wall, Window, Door, Profile, Stair, Rail, Slab, Dimension, and AEC Dimension styles.
