The Style Management Wizard is a tool for administrators to assist in batch-style management for Autodesk Inventor files. Using the Style Management Wizard, you can:
- Harvest styles from Autodesk Inventor files and place them in a target style library.
- Purge styles from Autodesk Inventor files. Purging removes unused style information and can be beneficial in large assemblies by reducing required memory.
Use the Style Management Wizard when transitioning to using a style library with your design project.
