To Update Standard Styles in a Project Standards Drawing From a Project Drawing

You can change a standard style in a project standards drawing by overwriting it with the corresponding style from a project drawing. When you have updated a project standard style from a project drawing, the project needs to be synchronized to use the updated style.

Note: Before you change a project standard style from a project drawing, you should verify that this is the correct procedure. Once the project standard has been updated, the changed style will be updated in all project drawings during the next project synchronization.
  1. Open a project drawing.
  2. Click Manage tabStyle & Display panelStyle Manager.
  3. Expand the node of the project drawing, and select the standard style with which you want to update the project standards.
    Note: A standard style in a project drawing can be recognized by a blue icon.
  4. Right-click, and click Update Standards from Drawing.
    Note: You can also select to update multiple styles, a style type, a style category, or the complete current drawing here.

    The selected style is listed in the top panel.

  5. To update the project standards from the style in the project drawing, select Update Project Standards from the Action drop-down list of the style.
  6. To not update the project standards from the style in the project drawing, select Do not Update Project Standards from the Action drop-down list of the style.

    In this case, the version in the project standards drawing is not overwritten with the version in the project drawing. During the next synchronization of the project drawing, the style will be displayed as out of synch with the project standards.

  7. To ignore the out of synch version of the style, select Ignore from the Action drop-down list.

    In this case, the item will not be displayed in future updates, except when 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.
