DIN-compliant door labels

When you enter door openings, the door swing attribute is assigned automatically as soon as you place the relevant symbol. This attribute updates automatically to reflect modifications you make to the door swing.

The door swing attribute is in compliance with DIN. You can use the DIN R/L label style to label the door swing.
