Merge Line Styles, Fill Patterns, Filled Regions, Text Styles, Dim Styles, etc.

It sure would be nice to have a quick way to merge duplicate styles to clean up a project.

 

I put a lot of effort making sure my template is clean and pure, but when it comes to a real project, things get messy fast.

 

For example, I may end up with linestyles called "Heavy", "HEVY", "HEV", "HVY" and "Lineweight 4" as a result of copy and paste from other projects, downloading from the web, and giving the intern redlines.  I know they should all be the same, but there is no easy way to merge.  I cannot select all instances in project for lines (bummer) and if i have 100 details, it will take forever to select and change type for each view.  I can delete the bad line styles, but then they all end up Lineweight 1, which does not print they way i want.

 

Same issue with Fill Patterns, Filled Regions, Text Styles, Dim Styles, etc.

The year is 2023 and this is still a basic basic basic level feature that should be included out of the box. It would be great if Autodesk could address this or please just buy the Ideate software and incorporate it into the Revit platform. Some of these features need serious attention from the development team.

I strongly required the Autodesk add this functionality (like Ideate style Manager) to have merge text types to standard template text types. We spend a lot of the time try to match current text types, linestyle, line patterns to standard. But current version text types could not delete, remap, merge or transfer to standard required. Please consider to add in these functionality.

Yes, just like the LAYMRG command in AutoCAD!

Autodesk - please take this idea and others that improve general quality of life rather than niche features under serious consideration. If Ideate can do it, then you can too!
