Updating Project Standards Drawings
When a standard style or display setting changes during the lifecycle of a project, it needs to be versioned, saved, and
then updated in the project drawings and the other project standards drawings.
A standard component can be either changed directly in the standards drawing, or be updated from a project drawing.
For more information, see “
Updating Standard Objects in a Project Standards Drawing ” on page 376 and “ Updating
Standard Objects in a Project Standards Drawing from a Project Drawing ” on page 378.
Updating AEC project standards drawings
Process Overview: Updating AEC Standards in a Project
When a change is made to an AEC project standard, the following high-level steps need to be performed throughout
the project:
Step 1: Make a change to a standard style or display setting in a project standards drawing.
Step 2: Version the changed style or display setting in Style Manager or Display Manager, and save or close the
standards drawing. For more information, see “
Versioning Standards ” on page 373.
Step 3: Synchronize the project, individual project drawings, or individual styles or display settings with the
changed standard. For more information, see “
Synchronizing a Project with the Standards ” on page 358.
Step 4: It is recommended that you synchronize all other project standards drawings with the change. For more
information, see “
Synchronizing Project Standards with Each Other ” on page 382.
Versioning Standards
Styles and display settings in project standards drawings and project drawings have a version. The version is used to
determine whether a style or display setting needs to be synchronized. The version information includes a unique
GUID (Global Unique Identifier), the date and time of the last modification, the Windows login name of the user who
last modified the object, and an optional comment.
