I'm used to using simple 2-D doors when I draw, and I'm familiar with the menu. However, when I recently opened an older drawing to do some editing, I got a different door menu than what I'm used to seeing. All my current drawings still have the "normal" door menu... how do I change the old drawing's door menu back to my "normal" menu? I've uploaded pics of the two menus... the first being the menu in my older drawing, the second being my "normal" menu.

Thanks for any help!

BINGO! Thx, Neil... probably wouldn't have found that anytime soon.

FWIW,

You can draw all or most of your walls, doors, and windows using smart entities (Auto3D). Then when you want to 'break-out' of the 'smarts' and continue with 2D entities, you can use the Tools, Extract 2D/3D menu.
