Editing Project Drawings Outside the Project
You need to work on a project drawing outside of a project in any of the
following cases:
â– A drawing is edited by an outside contractor.
â– A user wants to work on a drawing offline without access to the project.
â– A drawing has been created outside the project and is integrated into the
project later.
When you are working with a project drawing outside of a project, you can
use the drawing’s standard styles and display settings, but they cannot be
updated with changes that are made to the project standards during that time.
So it is important to synchronize the drawing after it has been re-integrated
into the project.
If you have made changes to standard styles and display settings in the project
drawing during working outside the project, a new version of the styles and
display settings is created automatically to track the changes when
synchronizing the drawing with the project standards. You can select to either
overwrite the new version with the current version from the project standards,
or you can update the project standards with the version from the project
drawing. For more information, see Synchronizing a Project Drawing with
AEC Standards on page 643 and Updating Standard Objects in a Project
Standards Drawing from a Project Drawing on page 668.
Creating a New Project Standards Drawing
Project standards drawings are assigned to a project, but are not project
drawings like elements, constructs, views, and sheets. The styles and display
settings in project drawings are compared with the standards and updated as
necessary during the synchronization process.
To create a project standards drawing, you need to create a drawing file or a
drawing template containing styles and display settings that should be used
in the project.
For example, you can create one drawing that contains the standard wall
styles, and another one that contains the standard door styles, or mask block
definitions.
