NOTE If you apply a dimension style to a dimension, overrides on that dimension
are lost.
Copy Dimension Styles among Drawings
The Style Library Manager provides a convenient way to copy dimension styles
(and other styles) from one drawing to another.
Close Autodesk Inventor before using the Style Library Manager.
TRY IT: Access the Style Library Manager
1 On your desktop, click Start ➤ Programs ➤ Autodesk ➤ Autodesk
Inventor [version] ➤ Tools ➤ Style Library Manager.
2 In the Style Library Manager dialog box, double-click the Dimension
style. All dimension styles available in the current document are listed.
If you prefer, click the Browse button in the Style Library 1 pane and
locate a different style library.
3 In Style Library 2 pane, click the Create New Library button or browse to
an existing library. Accept the default or give the new library a name and
click OK.
4 Select the styles from Library 1 to add to Library 2 and click the right
arrow button to add the styles. Optionally, you can click buttons to Show
All Styles, Show Mismatched Styles (style names are the same but
definitions differ in the two libraries), or Unique Styles (definition exists
in one library, but not the other).
5 Click Exit.
NOTE Do not create a style in an existing library unless you have authority to do
so. You could replace an existing definition that could affect the formatting of
other documents.
