Replace styles in Drawing

Hi

I have some styles I will like to replace in some drawings

but how? I cant find any function to do this.

Do I missing some thing ?

 

Dim oIDWStyles As Inventor.DrawingStylesManager
 Set oIDWStyles = oDrawDoc.StylesManager
 Dim oldstyle As style
 Dim Newstyle As style
   For Each oldstyle In oIDWStyles.Styles
     If oldstyle.Name = "Old style" Then
       '  Debug.Print oldstyle.Name & " : " & oldstyle.InternalName
        For Each Newstyle In oIDWStyles.Styles
          If Newstyle.Name = "New style" Then
            'Debug.Print Newstyle.Name & " : " & Newstyle.InternalName
            End If
        Next
        'How to replace oldstyle with newstyle
         'oldstyle = Newstyle
       
     End If
   Next

This worked for me:

 

' Create the parts list and set a reference to it.
    Dim oPartsList As PartsList
   
    Set oPartsList = oSheet.PartsLists.Add(oDrawingView1, oPlacementPoint)
    oPartsList.Style = oDrawDoc.StylesManager.PartsListStyles.Item("PARTS LIST PART")

 

Hope this helps.

You can rename it, delete it, set another style as the object default, but no direct replace that I know of.

 

If you set the new styles as object defaults, then you could change all elements to the active standard.

Thanks Jonathan

Finally I got the time, to look at your suggestion.

I'm sorry I have not commented earlier, I've been on vacation.

I thought there was an easier solution.
