Appearance Style

Ok so I've made a custom appearance style, but how do I save it so I can reuse it vs. having to recreate it every time I start a new publication?

Hi Rich -

 

Currently, there is no way to copy custom appearance styles between projects. The custom styles that you've created are only available within the project they were created in - this is currently as-designed.

 

Thanks,

I was talking with my reseller and they suggested the following;

 

1. create a project with all my customizing

2. save as "template.ipb"

3. to start a new project, open "template.ipb" and save as "new_project.ipb"

4. erase all components

5. insert compoents

 

thoughts?

This is a viable workaround, although you dont need to insert any components/data to set up and save an IPB file. I'd suggest just to cancel out of the Insert dialog that pops up when you create a new project, and then set up the styles as you need. This way you don't run the risk of possibly mixing datasets or anything in the future.

I too think this would be a great feature for a future update.

Autodesk Team,

 

  • When will it be possible to copy Labels, Callouts, and Arrows between publications?
  • When will it be possible to export/import Styles (Appearance, Label, etc.)?
  • When will Zoom All (Extents) respect the Publish area instead of the application window?

 

Regards,

 

Jerry
