If you set up standards for a new project, or add new drawings to an existing project, standard styles and display settings do not yet exist in these drawings and need to copied there.
If you have configured project standard tools, you can drag-and-drop them from the project library or the project standards palettes to project drawings.
If you want to use standard styles and display settings in a project drawing without using tools, you need to copy them through Style Manager and Display Manager.
Danger: Project standard styles and display settings can be used only in project drawings. You can copy standard styles and display settings into standalone drawings as well; however, they will not be synchronized or versioned and maintain no link to the project standards.
There are different methods of copying standard styles and display settings to a drawing:
- Project tool palettes can be defined. If the tools reference styles from standards drawings, the associated standard style is copied to the project drawing when the tool is executed.
- A Content Browser library for the project can be defined. You can drag-and-drop tools from Content Browser to a project drawing.
- Standards drawings are displayed in the Style Manager and Display Manager under the project node. You can drag-and-drop styles and display settings into a project drawing from a project standards drawing.
