To Add Standard Styles From a Project Drawing to a Project Standards Drawing

You can add not standardized styles from the current project drawing to the project standards. You can do this, for example, if you have created a complex style in a project drawing and want to include that into your standards.

If you want to add a style to the project standards in this way, in addition to copying the style to the standards drawing you need to verify that the style type in question has been selected for that standards drawing in the project configuration. Otherwise, it will not be used as a standard. For example, if you copy a wall style from a project drawing to the standards drawing “Standards 1.dwg”, you need to make sure that in the project configuration the Wall Style type has been checked for “Standards 1.dwg”.

After copying a style to the project standards, you need to synchronize the project to use the new standard style.

1. Open a project drawing from Project Navigator.
2. Click Manage tabStyle & Display panelStyle Manager.
3. Add a new style to the current project drawing.
4. Select the new style, right-click, and click Update Standards from Drawing.
   Note:

   You can also select multiple styles, a style type, a style category, or the complete current drawing here.

   

   The new style is listed in the lower panel, which displays styles in the project drawing that do not exist in the project standards.

5. To add the style to a project standards drawing, and thereby make it a standard style, select Add to Project Standards in the Action drop-down list.
6. To skip over the not standardized style, select Skip from the Action drop-down list.

   In this case, the not standardized style remains in the project drawing, and is not entered into the standards.

7. To ignore the style, select Ignore from the Action drop-down list.

   In this case, the not standardized style will not be listed again in future updates, except if you select Show objects set to ignore during project standards synchronization or remove the Ignore flag from the style in Style Manager.

8. Click OK.
9. In Style Manager, click OK or Apply.
10. Click Yes to save the updated project standards drawing.
