Style definitions issue

[JBEDsol]

I have my template files on a server and get this issue.  I don't really know what's happening

The following style definitions in template X:\IV Files Templates\Standard.iam different from the definitions in the style library; the style library definitions will be used

Dimension:Default (ANSI) - 3DA

If the style definitions in the style library are intended for the new document, update the template with the new style definitions.  If the style definitions in the template are intended for the new document, remove these styles from your style library using the Style Library Manager.

I've no idea what any of this is, what I'm supposed to do in the style library manager, why this occurred etc.  I recently upgraded from 2018 to 2019 and have my project looking at a server for templates.

If you have not figured it out, it is basically showing you that the particular dim style is different from the template compared to the style library. You need to find out which one is correct and either update the template from the style library, or save the template to the style library to make them match.

You need to make sure your project has use style library set to "read-write" to be able to do this, if not then the options will be grayed out. If this is set all the time to read-write, then anyone can save to the style library and you can potentially get all kinds of conflicts.

Hope that helps.

Hi! Did you happen to participate in Inventor Senna Beta? Have you installed recent Beta builds on the same machine?

Many thanks!

Hi! We have identified a similar issue (not exactly sure if it is the same as yours). When your machine gets newer VC++ 2017 distributables installed, it uncovers a bug in the Standard.xml file in Inventor 2018 and 2019. There were erroneous values, masked by prior VC++ distributables. Here is an article documenting the behavior and how to fix it. Please take a look.
