Versioning Styles and Display Settings
To determine whether a standard style or display setting in a project drawing
is identical to the corresponding object in the project standards drawing, styles
and display settings in a project are versioned. The version information
includes a unique GUID (Global Unique Identifier), the date and time of the
last modification, the windows login name of who last modified the object,
and an optional comment.
A new version of a standard style or display setting in a project drawing is
created each time the style or display setting is changed in Style Manager or
Display Manager, and saved.
In a project standards drawing, a new version of a standard style or display
setting must be manually created after the style or display setting has been
changed in Style Manager or Display Manager. For information about
versioning standard styles and display settings, see Versioning Standards on
page 661. In project standards drawings, a version history is also stored. The
version history will be used to determine if styles or display settings in project
drawings are identical to the version in the project standards drawing, or
newer or older versions.
An older version of a style or display setting in a project drawing is a version
that exists in the project standards drawing, but is not the latest version. A
newer version of a style or display setting in a project drawing is a style or
display setting that exists in the project standards drawing, but has no
corresponding version in its version history.
A special case occurs if a standard style or display setting in a standards drawing
has no version information. This can happen if the version information has
been purged, as described in Purging the Version Information from a Project
Standards Drawing on page 675. In this case, the standard style or display
setting still participates in the synchronization and is considered the “latest
version” when comparing with versions of the object in project drawings. No
attempt is made during synchronization to automatically create a version
GUID or history list. If you want to add version information to the standard
style or display setting, you need to manually version the object as described
in Updating Standard Objects in a Project Standards Drawing on page 665.
Synchronization Conditions
Two styles or display settings are considered identical if the following are
identical:
■ Object type (e.g. wall style, display set)
■ Name
