Reference for Style and Standard Editor Dialog

Creates and edits styles.

Styles defined in the Style Library and in the active document are listed in the browser pane; available styles depend on the current document type. The selected style contents are shown in the editor pane.

The Style and Standard Editor sets the active standard in a drawing document and, for part and assembly documents, sets lighting styles.

Note: Sheet metal styles are only available using the Sheet Metal Styles dialog box in Inventor.
