Updating Standard Objects in a Project Standards Drawing from a Project Drawing
You can change a standard style or display setting in a project standards drawing by overwriting it with the corresponding
style or display setting from a project drawing. When you have updated the project standard from a project drawing,
the project needs to be synchronized to use the updated styles and display settings. For information, see “
Synchronizing
a Project with the Standards ” on page 358.
NOTE Before you change a project standard from a project drawing, you should verify that this is the correct procedure.
Once the project standard has been changed, the style or display setting will be updated in all project drawings during the
next project synchronization, if automatic synchronization is selected.
To make changes to a standards drawing, you must have write access to the drawing. If a standards drawing is read-only,
it is marked with a Lock icon ( ) in Style Manager or Display Manager. You can make changes to that drawing,
but you cannot save them. If you need to make changes to a locked drawing, contact the drawing owner or CAD
manager.
1 Open a project drawing from Project Navigator.
2 Click Format menu
➤
Style Manager or Display Manager.
3 Expand the node of the project drawing, and select the standard style or display setting with which you
want to update the project standards.
NOTE A standard style or display setting in a project drawing is marked with a blue icon. If a style or display
setting is displayed with a gray icon, it is not a standard style or display setting. In that case, you can add it to
the project standards, as described in
“ Adding Standard Objects from a Project Drawing to a Project Standards
Drawing ” on page 379 .
4 Right-click, and click Update Standards from Drawing.
NOTE You can select multiple objects here.
The selected style or display setting is listed in the top panel.
5 To update the project standards from a style or display setting in the project drawing, select Update Project
Standards from the Action drop-down list of the style or display setting.
6 To not update the project standards from a style or display setting in the project drawing, select Do not
Update Project Standards from the Action drop-down list of the style or display setting.
In this case, the version in the project standards is not overwritten with the version in the project drawing.
During the next synchronization of the project drawing, the style or display setting will be displayed as
out of synch with the project standards.
7 To ignore the out of synch version of the style or display setting, select Ignore from the Action drop-down
list.
