You can make changes quickly to a layout by replacing configurations in the drawing. You can apply the master configuration to any number of panel configurations already in the drawing. The appropriate width configuration will then replace the selected target configuration(s). This allows generic space planning, which you can then populate with finalized stack configurations.
Note: If you know that you would eventually like to place a certain configuration in a drawing but that configuration has not been created yet, you can place a blank configuration in your drawing to serve as a placeholder for the configuration you will eventually create and bring into that drawing. You can do this by following the steps listed below.
-
Place multiple configurations in the drawing.
-
Create new configurations and save them to the Custom Catalog.
-
Select the Master Configuration and drag it into the drawing.
-
From the Apply Panel Configuration dialog box click the Select Objects button. This will take you to your drawing where you can select the configurations you wish to replace.
-
Press Enter and the Apply Panel Configuration dialog will return.
-
Click OK.
You will see the configurations you have selected change to the new configurations. If a new configuration is not valid for a selected configuration’s frame it is not replaced and the original configuration remains in place.
