Match Text Styles

Match text styles and dimension styles

In a building or drawing you have developed your text or dimension styles or an adjustment was necessary. These changes should now be transferred from the settings files (*.dsi) to the other positions and drawings of the project or to the templates. These matches are now considerably more convenient:

In the dialogs for selecting text or dimension styles, the "Match settings" button has been added. When activated, the following options are offered:

• Read settings from master data (dsi)

  • In one step, the settings from the master data can be applied to the current position.

  • This can also be preparation for transferring them to all positions and drawings of the current project in the next step.

• Write current settings to master data (dsi)

  • The settings of the current position are prepared and the master data should be adjusted in one step.

  • In the next step they can then be transferred to other projects via the master data.

  • For new styles, the group assignment must be made in the master data.

• Transfer current settings to all positions and drawings of the current project

  • The settings of the current position are transferred in one step to all positions and drawings of the current project. Buildings, profiles, loading positions, structural positions, drawings and drawing storages are adjusted (over 90% time savings).

  • After importing the master data, it will be distributed throughout the project in this way.

  • However, adjustments that apply only to this project can also be transferred.

• Transfer current settings to building and drawing templates

  • The settings of the current position are optimally prepared and should be made directly available in the future when creating positions and drawings via templates.

  • Templates for buildings, profiles, loading positions and drawings are adjusted (99% time savings). Templates for structural positions are not changed.

For all matches, four levels are then offered:

• delete all existing and transfer everything

  • This also removes styles that are no longer needed; the settings are completely cleaned up.

  • Note! For transferring into the project and the templates: In drawings and positions styles that are used by dimensions and texts are also removed. When opened, these will then automatically receive the style "DHP Standard". As a result, the appearance can change significantly.

• replace existing styles and add new ones

• add only new styles

• replace only styles that already exist
