Updating multiple part styles

[Josh_Petitt]

Is there a way to update the styles for multiple parts at once? I've made a change in the style library to one of the material colors. Now I have to open each part individually, click Format > Update Styles..., select Yes To All, then OK.

I would like to open the top-level assembly, and do a recursive update, discarding the local style(s) and replace with the style(s) from the library. Is this possible?

also, I'd like to point out a very minor bug when you do an Update Syles, discard local and update with style from the library. After the dialog closes the part color does not update immediately. It seems that user input of some kind (keystroke or mouse movement) will cause the screen to refresh. At first I thought the command wasn't working cause the dialog closed but nothing changed. It wasn't til I zoomed that I was relieved to see that the part had in fact changed colors.

This is one of the nice things about R10. It has a switch in the Update
Styles Dialog to "update all child documents". It'll update everything in an
assembly in one shot.
