Use code set styles to control the visual appearance of a code set (link, point, and shape codes). You can create specific styles to use for the different aspects of an assembly or corridor. Since subassemblies can be displayed in a number of objects, code set styles are applicable to those objects as well. The following types of objects use code set styles:
- Subassemblies
- Assemblies
- Corridors
- Section views
An individual subassembly typically contains just a few points, links and shapes. Therefore, most subassemblies typically contain a relatively simple code list. Since an assembly manages a group of subassemblies, the code list for an assembly is comparatively larger. Furthermore, since a corridor can have multiple assemblies applied within it, the code list becomes larger and complex. The same holds true for the section views.

- In the Name column, click NEW CODE, enter the name of the code you want to add, and press Enter.
- Click Apply.
To import codes to a code set style
- In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand the General collection, the Multipurpose Styles collection, then the Code Set Styles collection, and right-click an existing style.
- Click Copy or Edit.
- In the Code Set Style dialog box, click the Codes tab.
- Click Import Codes.
- In the drawing, click on a subassembly, assembly, or corridor object, and press Enter. The codes are automatically displayed in the Codes tab list.
- Click Apply.
To edit a corridor’s code set style
This procedure describes how to change the code set style assigned to a corridor.
- Do one of the following:
- In Toolspace, on the Prospector tab, expand the Corridors collection, and right-click an existing corridor. Click Properties, and then click the Codes tab.
- In the ribbon, click ModifyCorridor. In the Modify Corridor panel, click the down arrow, select Edit Code Set Styles, then select a corridor.
