Style and Standard Editor - Parts List Style Reference

Sets the default configuration for the parts list in a drawing or template file.

What's New: 2025

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.

Access

Ribbon: Manage tab Styles and Standards panel Styles Editor . In the Style and Standard Editor dialog box, click Parts List. If available, click one of the listed styles to view or edit.

For the current document, you can click:

• Back to return to the previously edited style. You are prompted to save the previous edits.
• New to create new styles. Select the Add to Standard check box to add to the available styles list in the active standard style.
• Save to save changes to an existing style in the current document.
• Reset to return style values to the saved values.
• Filter to show Local Styles, Styles in the Active Standard, or All Styles in the browser.
• Import to use the Import Style Definition dialog box to import a style exported from another document.

On the Manage tab, Styles and Standards panel, you can also use these commands:

• Click Update to refresh the style list in the browser pane to include new or changed styles in the library.
• Click Save to save changed styles to the style library, which replaces the style library version with the new values.
