Hi,
I am trying to turn the style library off in inventor 2012, I can't seem to be able to do this. I know in the past version I simply turned it off in the project editor, but I only have the read-write option now. All my drawing settings are saved to my Template, when i open the template, it changes to the style library settings, which I dont want. I have not been able to figure out how to save my settings to style library this is why I have never used it.
Thanks
Tyson

Inventor will always use Styles information. In version prior to 2012, you had the option to keep this information in two places. Option 1 was to use a Styles Lirary. Keeping the xml data externally allows it to be shared and maintained separately from the file which keeps the file size lower as well.
Option 2 was to keep it within the template files themselves. Each .ipt or idw had all the styles.xml data loaded into it and not externally.
With Inventor 2012, you MUST have an external Styles Library. It can either be shared on a Network location or on your local drive.
You can use the Styles Management Wizard to harvest information from your 2011 files and use it to create a new 2012 Styles Library.
Details can be found in the Inventor WikiHelp here: http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Inventor/enu/2012/Help/2108-CAD_Mana2108/2119-Configur2119/2120-Style_l...
I hope this helps.

Problem solved!
