WARNING Project standard styles and display settings can be used only in project drawings. You can copy standard styles
and display settings into standalone drawings as well; however, they will not be synchronized or versioned and maintain no
link to the project standards.
There are different methods of copying standard styles and display settings to a drawing:
Project tool palettes can be defined, as described in
reference styles from standards drawings, the associated standard style is copied to the project drawing when the
tool is executed.
A Content Browser library for the project can be defined, as described in
Group" on page 351. You can drag-and-drop tools from Content Browser to a project drawing.
Standards drawings are displayed in the Style Manager and Display Manager under the project node. You can
drag-and-drop styles and display settings into a project drawing from a project standards drawing.

When you create a project, a project palette group is associated with it. The project palette group is displayed in the
tool palettes set when the project is set current. For information about creating a project tool palette group, see

Adding Standard Styles from the Project Tool Palettes
If you want to copy a standard style from a project palette into the current drawing, you can either insert the tool into
the drawing, or import the associated style from the tool palette into the drawing.
1 Right-click the tool, and click Properties.
Verifying the style location
Under Style location, the associated style drawing is listed.
2 Verify that the tool points to a project standards drawing.
3 Click OK.
4 To add the standard style into the drawing, do one of the following:
Select the tool, right-click, and click Import <Style Name> <Object> Style. For example, if you want to
add the wall style CMU-190 into the drawing, click Import CMU-190 Wall Style.
Click the tool to execute its function which will automatically use the referenced style.
Both of these options add the style to the drawing.
Adding Standard Styles from Content Browser
The CAD manager can set up a library in Content Browser that contains standard tools. Standard tools can be dragged
from Content Browser directly to a drawing or to a tool palette.
For information about associating a library for a project, see
