They need to have a parameter built into the doors to begin with (usually an instance parameter).
Once they have this you can then change all of a particular type by selecting one typing AI (Select All Instances also accessible from your right click menu) and then changing the instance properties of the door angle as required.
HTH.

I dont think my message was very clear sorry. I am not trying to set the angle of the swing I am trying to get a set of double doors to swing both ways.
Cheers

Just add symbolic lines on both sides of the wall to show the swing going both ways in the family. If its already got swing lines in one direction, simply mirror them over the midpoint of the wall.

What if I want the other swing's lines to be broken instead of solid?

Can you use the linework tool to change the linetype? Sorry to jump in on you Mr.Spot! I think the question was actually directed to you. JB

Nope, I can't click that one. I opened the family, mirrored the other swing but could not click the linework button...

If i understand you correctly, you tried to use the linework tool while in the Family Editor. Try placing the door in your project (not inthe family editor) where you want it and then use the linework tool. HTH JB
