Applies a selected style to the active view or to all views.
If you want objects of the same type to look alike, you can use styles, which are collections of formats you can apply to views and the objects in the views. You can define styles using the Format > Style command. Then, you can select a style and apply it to the active view or to all views.
Using styles ensures consistency. If you place one or more objects, the formats in the style apply directly to the objects. You do not have to spend time formatting them by setting several options on a ribbon or dialog box. Therefore, you can apply the formats in each style again and again.
Applying Styles
The style type determines the type of object to which you can apply a style. The software applies styles automatically, and you can change the styles that apply to objects.
In the Drawings and Reports task, you can apply a text style to text. You can apply a fill style to a fill and a line style to lines, arcs, circles, and ellipses. You can apply a dimension style to dimensions or text balloons.
In the design tasks, you can apply view styles to three-dimensional views of a model. You can also apply surface styles to the faces of objects.
Applying Styles to Multiple Objects
Selecting multiple objects and then applying the same style removes any previous formats. The objects now all have the formats from the style you applied. To apply this method, you must select objects that are in the same style type, such as dimension or text. For example, in the Drawings and Reports task, you cannot apply a line style to a dimension.
In the design tasks, you can apply the same view style to multiple views with the Apply View Styles command on the View menu.
To define viewing properties for curves and surfaces, you can use surface style rules, which define a style for a set of objects in the workspace.
