Cannot save to style library, even when Read/Write enabled

paulmWABYD — Fri, 07 Apr 2023 15:53:52 GMT

Hello, I'm trying to save a dimension style to my style library, but the option is greyed out. I have the style library enabled to read/write. Interestingly, every other dimension style has the "Save to style library" option available in the pulldown menu. Only the style which I have set up custom is greyed out. I've double checked that it isn't already saved; when I open a different drawing, the style isn't present.

Hi,
What version of the program are you using?

This is possible if the file's style settings match the style settings in the library.

Try clicking "Save and Close" in the dialog box, and then re-call the "Style Editor" -
and then save the style to the "Style Library".

Hi Paul,

Please share the idw/dwg file. I would like to understand the styles behavior better. In the meantime, try running Inventor as Admin (right-click on Inventor desktop icon -> Properties -> Compatibility -> check "Run as Admin."

Many thanks!

Is it possible for me to message you the file? I'd prefer not to post it on here.
