You can update styles and settings in the current drawing by importing from a drawing template (DWT) or a drawing (DWG).
Note: If you want styles to stay synchronized with the styles in a drawing template, you can attach one or more reference templates to your drawings. For more information, see
About Using Reference Templates to Manage Styles.
- Styles and settings in the DWT or DWG that do not exist in the current drawing can be imported.
- If a style exists in the current drawing but does not exist in the DWT or DWG, it can be deleted if it is not currently in use.
- If a style or setting exists in the current drawing but it is different in the DWT or DWG, it can be updated in the current drawing.
A style must be imported if it has a dependency on another style or setting that is selected to be imported. These styles are shown as selected and grayed out.
