Help with quick way to set styles to current?

Is there a way to *quickly* set a style to current? What I'd really like to see AutoCAD have is a right-click option for this. Such as, if I click on a Dimension Style, I can right-click and select "Make Style Current". Or, rather, since we have the "Add Selected" option, if there was a toggle to make the style current from the last used Add Selected option. When you use the Add Selected option, the default style reverts back to the last selected style. If it would keep, that would be fantastic.

 

Anything like this exist? It's minor, but I feel like it's important enough. Thanks in advance.

No silver bullet that I know of Tannar. Possibly the DC (design center) might be the fastest way, to set multiple styles at one time, using the Open drawings tab.

Thanks Dadgad, but I'm looking for more of an "on the fly, as you're working" type of setup with preexisting styles already defined. :)

Yeah, I understood that, but I can't find anything like that in any of the shortcut, hover menus or command list.

I never use the Design Center, thought there might be a way there, but then checked it out and there isn't. :beer:

Autocad, maybe Revit, A toolbar, a shortcut T1 etc command, maybe redefine keystroke combo's. Even redfine a key on the keyboard (keygen)

I use the keyboard to bring up the dialog box and mouse to select the style. Quick enough for me, but I don't need to change styles very often.

Absolutely, in fact, a single LISP could set a number of styles current. I think that something like that would have been a feature added long ago. Something like workspaces.

Not one I wrote.

 

;Set to current dimstyle by picking an object on desired dimstyle.

;Set Dimension style Current

(defun C:SDC ()

(prompt "\Select Desired Dimstyle...")

(command "-DIMSTYLE" "_R" "")

(princ)

)

I often use macros to switch styles, it might not be the same in revit but here is what i use in AutoCAD.

 

^C^C^C_DIMSTYLE;R;FEET;dimlinear

 

"feet" being the dimstyle
