I need to show a few walls to be FUTURE BY TENANT.  Does anyone know how I can get these walls to be dashed. 

I tried using Phases, and created a new phase called Future Construction, but I reached a dead-end when I couldn't get the Future Construction to show up.

Any ideas will help.

Thanks for your time.

Too cool!

 I finally got a chance to work on it.  What a great tool.  I'll have to let my friends in on this one.  The one part of this process that was a bit difficult is the overlay.  I was trying to do this with the underlay tool in the view properties.  Eventually, I figured out that you are supposed to put both views on one sheet of paper. Then, it worked great.  One more tip, the order that you put your views on the sheet matters.  For the best result, I put the New Construction plan on the sheet first.  Then I put the Future Construction view on top of that.  

It is so easy to change a wall from New to Future or visa versa.

My office is a buzz with excitement for this new tool.  Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
