The Floor Selector toolbar

 

When a floor is selected the following locks are automatically turned on, ACS Plane Lock, ACS Plane Snap Lock, AccuDraw Z Lock.  This then ensures that all elements are drawn on the correct plane. No need to set your active Z and turn on your depth lock.  Note:  Set the floor name “None” as active if you require to set a particular plane for drafting.

At this time, floor selector ACS (Auxillary Co-ordinate Systems) do not save with a rotation value, so you need to manually keyin any rotation, into the ‘ACS Rotation’ field on the toolbar.  Future versions of FloorManager should include this capability.

Once the ACS is correctly setup, the far right button on the toolbar will align a view with the ACS.
