You can create a style library using one of several methods. In general, new style libraries are created by CAD administrators so that uniform styles are assured throughout a design project.
Individual design projects can use a custom style library, which is specified in the project file. Because it is specified in the project, all designers who use the project use the same set of styles for formatting.
Tip: It is a good idea to keep the original style libraries associated with drafting standards intact. Instead, make a copy of the master library and use it to customize style libraries for individual design projects.
