rlshound Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hello, I've created a template drawing and am continuing with our new survey environment creating Point Styles for our field codes. Is it possible to import Point Styles? Your help would be appreciated, rlshound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBox Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 In Civil 3D 2012 and newer... Go to the Manage RibbonTab, Styles RibbonPanel, Import RibbonButton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerryG Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Another simple way if you have another dwg open, is to copy a point from any drawing. Paste it into the new drawing but before you hit enter hit Esc key. The style will now be in the drawing. This works for just about any object with a style applied.

Be mindful that this can also easily cause one to have to recover their drawing. If you want an Object available in another drawing, DREF, XREF, use LandXML to export/import, or promote a DREF. If you only want a particular Style, I strongly suggest the method I note above, as it allows multiple Styles, and Style types to be brought in at once. Otherwise, you can drag a Style from one drawing to another via Propsector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I second using import styles dont forget all the other stuff like blocks that are attached to a style. If I remeber correct Aeccimportstyles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryG Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Good to know guys - I think I will start using the Manage, Styles option as I have indeed had a few crash. I have never liked using Prospector since it seams to take such a long time to drag and drop the style into the new drawing. Works ok for one style I guess but often I need multiple ones. Thanks!!
