    Default Default Duct Part Size Ranges - how do I edit the ranges (who installs 3x3 duct??!?)?

    Hello!

    My default part size range for ductwork (all types) is 3x3" to 96x96". This is ludicrous, and involves a lot of scrolling to get more realistic parts.

    How to I edit the range to something more reasonable (say 6x6" to 50x50")

    Thanks!

    Is this AutoCAD, or AutoCAD Architectural, or another vertical? Dynamic block, maybe? Vanilla AutoCAD doesn't have any understanding of a what a duct is.

    This is AutoCAD MEP (noticed this in 2012 and 2013). I can find my default sizes under Manage->Style Manager->HVAC Routing Preference, but I can't change the "preferences" there.

    I think you should try posting your question to MEP forum. I think there someone can help you.

    I moved the post from the AutoCAD General forum to this one. Cheers!
