Styles and Default Values

The Interactive Drafting workbench lets you use and modify the default values of element properties.

Note that there are two different behaviors, depending on the versions with which the drawing was created:

 

Use standard-defined styles: Use and modify styles in drawings created with version V5 R11 and later, or pre-R11 drawings whose standard has been updated or changed in V5 R11 and later. Styles are defined in the standard used by the drawing. Standards are managed by the administrator.
Set properties as default in pre-R11 drawings: Set graphical properties to elements to be created in drawings created with versions up to V5 R10 whose standard has not been updated in version V5 R11 and later.
Use properties set as default in pre-R11 drawings: Use properties set as default in drawings created with versions up to V5 R10 whose standard has NOT been updated in version V5 R11 and later.
Migrate pre-r11 drawings to drawings using standard-defined styles: Using a batch utility, migrate CATDrawing documents created with versions up to V5 R10 (which use properties "set as default"), to V5 R12 CATDrawing documents using standard-defined styles.
