Drawing Styles and Templates

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

Like many, there is frustration with the drawing templates. In particular, a template that conforms to BS8888.

I have spent some time creating a style template that complies. I created this in Inventor 2015, and have successfully used it in subsequent releases. 

I have a friend that has tried to import the .STYXML file, only to be given an error message. This is for a school to use.

Is there any way to solve this, or is it Autodesk yet again making silly frustrations to force customers to change versions? Schools cannot constantly change versions of the software, as this puts far too much strain on education IT services.

Any help or ideas folks?

I'm not exactly sure.  From the error message, I just wonder if you could edit the .xml file and change the value to what it is expecting and try the import again.   You can open it with "Wordpad" and find the string that its complaining about. You don't have much to loose at this point, just make sure you are editing a copy of the .xml.

It much easier to download from the Microsoft website "XML Notepad". It's free and great for working with XML files.
