About Change Types in Project Standards Drawings

Different types of changes you can make to project standards require different actions to be applied throughout the project.

Change Type	Actions required
Modifying a standard style or display setting	Version style or display setting Save project standards drawing Synchronize project drawings Synchronize other project standards drawings (optional)
Renaming a standard style or display setting	Rename style or display setting Save project standards drawing Copy style or display setting to project drawings Assign style or display settings in project drawing Remove older name version from project drawings Note: Renaming a style is not considered a modification to the style and cannot be synchronized.
Adding a new standard style or display setting	Create new style or display setting Save project standards drawing Copy style or display setting to project drawings Copy style or display setting to other project standards drawings (optional)
Deleting a standard style or display setting	Verify that the style or display setting is not needed anymore in the project Delete style or display setting Save project standards drawing Remove style or display setting from project drawings

Modifying a standard style or display setting: When you make a modification to a standard style or display setting (except for renaming), you need to synchronize the project drawings that use the style or display setting. If the standard style or display setting is used in other project standards drawings, they need to be synchronized, too.

Renaming a standard style or display setting: Renaming a style or display setting is similar to creating a new style. The previous version history of the renamed style remains. If you want to use the renamed object in a project drawing or in another project standards drawing, you need to copy it there. Any instances of the older name in a project drawing or a project standards drawing should be deleted.

Adding a new standard style or display setting: If you have added a new standard style or display setting to a standards drawing and want to use the style in a project drawing or in another project standards drawing, you need to copy it through Style Manager and Display Manager or through tool palettes to these drawings. Once it has been copied, the new style or display setting will be included in future synchronizations.

Deleting a standard style or display setting: When you remove a standard style or display setting from a standards drawing, instances of that style in project drawings will be identified as not standardized in subsequent synchronizations. The not standardized instances should be removed from these drawings, as well.

Note: Standard styles and display settings can only be deleted in their standards drawings. The synchronization does not delete unused standard styles or display settings.
