To Save a Style to a Library

You can create or edit a style, and then save the changed version to the style library. If the style has the same name as a style that exists in the style library, it replaces the library version.

Access to a style library may be controlled by the CAD administrator. It is usually a good practice for the CAD administrator to maintain a master copy of a style library and copy it if modifications are needed. Using this practice, you can always retrieve the default styles from the master library.

Create or open a document with the styles you want to copy to the style library.
On the ribbon, click Manage tab Styles and Standards panel Save.
In the dialog box, all styles in the document are listed. Click column headers to sort contents.
- In the Changed column, all styles that do not match the library are labeled Not in Library.
- In the Save to Library column, styles that do not match the library are automatically labeled Yes. Click to change to No, if desired.
- To mark all styles at once, click Yes to All or No to All.
Click OK to save styles marked Yes, or Cancel to close the dialog box without saving styles.

Note: When you save a style to a style library, substyles are automatically saved. You are prompted to save referenced substyles that are different from the library. For example, a dimension style uses a text style as a substyle. If you change the dimension style and text style, saving the dimension style to the style library prompts you to also save the text style to the library.
