Modifying a standard style or display setting: When you make a modification to a standard style or display
setting (except for renaming), you need to synchronize the project drawings that use the style or display setting. If the
standard style or display setting is used in other project standards drawings, they need to be synchronized, too.
Renaming a standard style or display setting: Renaming a style or display setting is similar to creating a new
style. The previous version history of the renamed style remains. If you want to use the renamed object in a project
drawing or in another project standards drawing, you need to copy it there. Any instances of the older name in a project
drawing or a project standards drawing should be deleted.
Adding a new standard style or display setting: If you have added a new standard style or display setting to a
standards drawing and want to use the style in a project drawing or in another project standards drawing, you need to
copy it through Style Manager and Display Manager or through tool palettes to these drawings. For information on
copying styles and display settings to project drawings, see “
Adding Standards to a Project Drawing ” on page 355. Once
it has been copied, the new style or display setting will be included in future synchronizations.
Deleting a standard style or display setting: When you remove a standard style or display setting from a standards
drawing, instances of that style in project drawings will be identified as not standardized in subsequent synchronizations.
The not standardized instances should be removed from these drawings, as well.
NOTE Standard styles and display settings can only be deleted in their standards drawings. The synchronization does not
delete unused standard styles or display settings.
