that are open in the current session are displayed in the tree view in the left
pane.
Left Pane of the Style Manager
The left pane of the Style Manager displays the styles in all open drawings
and templates in a hierarchical tree view that you can navigate by expanding
and collapsing the different levels in the tree. By default, styles in the tree
view are sorted by the drawing that contains them, but you can also sort them
by style type. The tree view is always displayed in the left pane, regardless of
how you sort the styles.
Styles are organized into 3 categories: Architectural Objects, such as Door
Styles; Documentation Objects, such as Schedule Table Styles; and
Multi-Purpose Objects, such as Layer Key Styles. Within each category, styles
are listed alphabetically. To filter the tree view so that only styles of one style
type are displayed, select a style type, and on the Style Manager toolbar, click
. To redisplay all styles, click again.
NOTE If drawings or templates are read-only, their read-only status is indicated
by a lock on the folder next to the drawing in the tree view and also by a lock icon
on the status bar.
Right Pane of the Style Manager
The style information displayed in the right pane depends on what you select
in the tree view in the left pane. For example, when the tree view is sorted by
drawing, and a style category is selected, the right pane lists the style types in
the category. If a style type is selected, the right pane lists the styles within
the type. If an individual style is selected, the right pane displays a series of
tabs on which you can edit the properties of the style and preview how an
object will display using that style. When the tree view is sorted by style, you
can select a style type to view the distribution of the styles within that type
across all drawings and templates that are open in the Style Manager.
Style Manager Menu Bar and Toolbar
The top of the Style Manager includes a menu bar and a toolbar for quick
access the menu commands. Pause the mouse over a toolbar icon to display
a tooltip describing the associated command.
