OBJ Civil 3D Style Tutorials

Styles Definition
Styles control the display and design characteristics of drawing objects. AutoCAD uses layers to control object visibility settings. However, Civil 3D styles control layers, linetypes, lineweights, labels, and much more.

You can use styles to efficiently manage object appearance. When you create a new object, you can apply a predefined style for its display. Later, you can apply a different style. Also, you can create new styles to suit the needs of different users and different project stages (use one style for design, another for construction documents). If you change a style definition, the changes are applied automatically to all objects using that style.

Styles for each object type are managed on the Toolspace Settings tab. The General collection contains styles that can be used by more than one object type (called Multipurpose styles) as well as shared label styles. All AutoCAD^® Civil 3D^® objects have a Basic style that can be used as is, or as the basis for building new styles. If you want to customize some attributes of a style, you can create a new style, or make changes to an existing style and save it with a new name. Groups of styles can be collected and saved as a drawing template (.dwt) file. All drawings created from a specific .dwt will share the same styles. The controls for creating styles are standardized as much as possible across all features to make the process easier. Styles can be dragged and dropped between drawings.
