Share Styles Between Documents
You can share styles between documents in two ways:
■ Use Format ➤ Save Styles to Style Library to save a new or edited style to
the style library. Then it is available for use in any document.
■ Use the Styles Editor Import/Export tool to select one or more styles and
export them at once. The same process is used to import styles.
Use Styles Available In Drafting Standards
Each drafting standard has a complete set of styles. Before you create views
of your model, review the available styles to become familiar with the
formatting settings. If necessary, you can adjust values and save them to the
style library.
All formatting for styles is controlled within the Styles and Standards Editor.
Create or open a drawing document and then review the styles.
TRY IT: Examine the available styles for the drafting standard
1 With an .idw file open, click Format ➤ Style and Standard Editor.
2 On Style and Standard Editor, select All Styles from the Filter Styles
dropdown in the top right corner.
3 On the left pane of the Style and Standard Editor dialog box, review the
list of object included in the style.
4 Expand the Standard item. All available standard styles are displayed.
Click a style name to display the Standard window.
5 On the Standard window, review the settings and values associated with
the standard style.
6 On the left pane, expand the Dimension item and click a dimension
style. Notice that dimension style settings are edited on seven tabs. Click
the Display tab, for example, to see preferences for how dimensions are
represented in the graphics window and on the drawing sheet.
