Create Custom Media for Disciplines

Shows step-by-step how to create custom media in the LINEAR Solutions for AutoCAD and assign them to disciplines.

Before you begin

You need additional media in certain disciplines (e.g. single, double or triple treated supply air) because the standard media do not cover the requirements of your project.

Navigate to:

  2. Click in a free row and specify the Name, the Layer Code, the Color, the Line Type and its Line Weight as well as the value for the Chamfer if required.
