About Assembly Styles

Use styles to control the visual appearance of the assembly object components.

You can create specific styles to use for the different phases of a project. For example, you can create one style to use in the design layout phase and another style to use for plotting.

Use assembly styles to control the appearance of assembly baseline location, profile grade reference point, controlling offset baseline location and profile point markers.

You can access assembly styles using the methods in the following table:

To access assembly styles...	Then...
In the drawing	Right-click an assembly and then click Edit Assembly Style.
On the Settings tab in Toolspace	Right-click a style in the Assembly Styles folder and then click Edit.

Note: When you click New on the context menu of a collection folder, the new style you create is based on installation defaults, not on the existing styles in the collection. To create a new style from an existing style, right-click the style, click copy, and then save the style with a new name.

Use the various tabs in the Assembly Style dialog box to set the following style information:

• Information. Specifies name, description, and creation information.
• Marker. Specifies the display of marker symbols (such as for the baseline point) within an assembly.
• Display. Lists the assembly components and display options as well as the choice of 2D or 3D visibility. You can display components in a 2D plan view or a 3D view using other tools, such as Orbit or Vpoint.
• Summary. Lists all the style properties.
