Updating Standard Objects in a Project Standards Drawing
You can change a standard style or display setting in a project standards drawing. When a change has been made, you
must version it and then synchronize the project with the change.
When you change a standard style or display setting directly in the standards drawing, you do not need to version
every single change. Many changes may be necessary to create a standard style or display setting in its final form; to
create a version for every intermediate stage would slow down the process. unnecessarily.
You can make multiple changes, save and close the drawing, reopen it, and then version the style or display setting
when it is ready for propagating in the project. As long as the changes are saved to the project standards drawing, no
edits will be lost, even without versioning in between.
WARNING As long as your changes are saved, but not versioned, any synchronizations taking place during that time will
not recognize the styles and display settings as changed, since the object comparison is performed on the version GUID, and
not the actual object properties. As a consequence, changed but unversioned styles and display settings in the project standards
will not be updated in the project drawings. To have the changes synchronized with the project, you need to version the
styles or display settings first.
To make changes to a project 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.
