Sets the default configuration for the parts list in a drawing or template file.
The Parts List style is a substyle of the active standard style. Its values are linked values. Changes made to parts list attributes affect all parts list objects associated with the standard.
The default values may be changed, but doing so overrides the style in the current document. To reset the value, reapply the style.
