    Default blocks inserting on wrong layer

    I know there is a way to fix this because I fixed it before, but I can't remember how to do it!

    When inserting a door or window, etc...the door is inserting on the current layer, not the A-Door layer it would typically default to when inserted....how do I fix this?

    Thanks!

    Hi Cristy,

    My guess would be that you don't have a layer key specified. Go to FORMAT - Style Manager - Multi-Purpose Objects - Layer Key Styles or you can get to it through the layers dialog.

    Some see the glass as half full, others as half empty. As an engineer I see the glass as twice as big as it needs to be. ~Unknown~
