Design SuiteDoor terminology specific to the UK, Australia, and New Zealand

Certain door terminology varies in some English-speaking regions. The door object is automatically localized in the Vectorworks program for users with a United Kingdom, Australia, or New Zealand serial number; however, since the documentation is not localized, the terminology does not match. This table shows how the terms are mapped and provides other related terminology matches.
