I will admit, I wondered the same thing when I first saw a rectangular door panel in an arched door in Chief. Hopefully I can give some insight into that.

 

Chief will not match the door shape to the symbol used for the door panel. It will match parametric door panels to the door shape.

 

For example, what type of arch should be used with this door panel? While this is obviously a contrived example, Chief would have to give an answer if it was going to use the symbol shape, since a symbol can be absolutely any shape.

I have actually never used my doors no.2 catalog. I input a door and put an arch on it thru the dbx.

 

The doors by default use a symbol for the door panel.
