Inventor stores styles in documents (local styles) and in the style library (library styles). The Use Style Library setting in the project determines whether styles in the style library are open for edit. The Read-Only status ensures that all style edits are kept in the local document.
- With all Inventor files closed, click
Manage Projects. -
In the lower pane of the Projects dialog box, confirm that the Use Style Library setting is Read-Only. If it is set to Read-Write, right-click the setting, and select Read-Only. Then click Save.
Note: Read-Only status enables sharing styles in model or drawing documents. When styles in the library change, CAD administrator can update all documents to use the new library styles. - Click Done to close the Projects dialog box.
- In the Tutorial Files > Cylinder Clamp folder, open Drawing Styles.idw.
