NOTE Project standards files, tool palettes, and the project Content Browser library are copied to the new project only if they
are located within the original project folder. Standard components located outside the project folder will be referenced by
the new project, but not copied to it.
For information about creating a project with predefined standards, see “
Creating a New Project Based on a Template
(Copying a Project)
” on page 174.
When you create a new project based on a template, all files that are in the project folder, will be copied, including the
project drawings (DWG) and their associated XML files. If you want to copy only the standards files and support files,
as well as the structure of the project, you need to create a project with a copied structure, as described in “
Creating a
New Project with the Structure of an Existing Project
” on page 176.
Configuring Project Standards
After setting up a project, you can configure the project standards. If you have created a project based on a template,
the initial project standard settings come from the template. If you have not used a template, the settings are undefined
or default settings.
Project standard settings include the following:
■
Standard styles
■
Standard display settings
■
Synchronization settings
■
AutoCAD standards (layers, dimension styles, text styles and linetypes)
NOTE To set up project standards, you must have one or more project standards drawings available. If you have created a
new project based on a project with standards, the standards drawings of the original project are copied to the new project
and are automatically associated with the new project. If you have created a new project not based on a template, or based
on a project without standards, you first need to define one or more standards drawings. For more information, see
“
Creating
a New Project Standards Drawing
” on page 371
.
Setting up Standard Styles and Display Settings
Use this procedure to set up standard styles and display settings for a project.
NOTE Standard styles include object styles, definitions, profiles, materials, property set definitions, and classifications.
To set up standard styles and display settings, you define one or more project standards drawings that contain the
standards for styles and display settings. These drawings can be DWG, DWT, or DWS files and are added in the
configuration dialog.
Standard files are marked by icons next to their name in the configuration setup.
Description

Standards drawing (DWG)
Standards template (DWT)
AutoCAD Standards file (DWS)
Missing standards file
Synchronization Order
If you have multiple standards drawings associated with a specific style type, then during synchronization the occurrence
of the style in the first standards drawing is used as the style with which the style in the project drawing is synchronized.
Further drawings containing the same standard style are ignored.
