Style Manager
The Style Manager is an AutoCAD Architecture utility that provides a central location for
working with the styles that determine the function and appearance of objects in your drawing.
What Are Styles?
Styles are sets of parameters that determine the function and appearance of
objects in AutoCAD Architecture drawings. For example, a door style specifies
a door’s type (single or double, bi-fold or hinged) and shape (rectangular or
arched), as well as its default frame dimensions, standard sizes, materials, and
display properties.
Each object in a drawing is an instance of a particular style. You use the same
style for all objects that are to have the same characteristics. For example, you
might use one door style for all office doors in a building and another for all
fire doors.
Generally a style is applied to an object through the tool you use to create the
object. After the object is created, you can apply a different style to it or edit
the style, either in the Style Manager or in a dialog accessed from the object’s
context menu. When you edit a style, the changes apply to all instances of that
style in your drawing, making this an efficient way of modifying a large number
of objects at once.
AutoCAD Architecture uses styles to define objects in 3 different categories:
â– Architectural objects, such as walls, doors, and windows
â– Documentation objects, such as 2D sections/elevations, dimensions, and
schedule tables
â– Multi-purpose objects, such as layer keys, mass elements, and material
