NOTE Synchronizing a project will not synchronize the project standards drawings with each other, even if they are located
within the project folder. To synchronize project standards drawings with each other, see
“
Synchronizing Project Standards
with Each Other
” on page 382
.
1
Verify that the project you want to synchronize is the current project.
For information about setting a project current, see “
Setting a Project Current
” on page 174.

Synchronizing a project with AEC standards
The synchronization dialog is displayed with two lists. The top list shows styles and display settings that
are either older versions of standard styles or display settings, or nonstandard (newer) versions. The bottom
list shows a list of not standardized styles and display settings. For a definition of terms, see “
Project
Standards Terminology
” on page 332.
3
To synchronize a style or display setting that is either an older version or a nonstandard (newer) version,
select Update from Standards from the Action drop-down list.
4
To skip over a style or display setting that is either an older version or a nonstandard (newer) version, select
Do not Update from the Action drop-down list.
In this case, the nonstandard version remains in the project drawing for now, and is not updated with the
standard. The next time the drawing is synchronized, the style or display setting will be listed again as
inconsistent with the standard.
5
To ignore a style or display setting that is inconsistent with the standard, select Ignore from the Action
drop-down list.
In this case, the inconsistent object will not be listed again in future synchronizations, except if you select
Show objects set to ignore during project standards synchronization, or remove the Ignore flag from the
style or display setting in Style Manager or Display Manager, as described in “
Excluding Styles and Display
Settings from Synchronization
” on page 368.
WARNING You should use the Ignore option only in clearly defined exception cases where you are sure that a
style or display setting does not need to conform to the project standards.
6
To skip over a not standardized style or display setting, select Skip from the Action drop-down list.
The next time the drawing is synchronized, the style or display setting will be listed again as not standardized.
NOTE You cannot promote not standardized styles and display settings to standard ones here. To do this, you
need to add the not standardized style to the project standards, as described in
“
Adding Standard Objects from
a Project Drawing to a Project Standards Drawing
