DesignSeries.pngSetting the Default Sketch Style

To quickly apply a sketch style to all objects in the current design or sheet layer, specify a default sketch style. Specifying the sketch style in a design layer applies the default to all design layers and sheet layers in the file. For sheet layers, applying a default sketch style applies only to objects placed on the sheet layer, overriding the document default sketch style; viewports also have individual sketch style settings (see Applying Sketch Styles to Viewports).

Sketch styles are provided in libraries (a selected sketch style is automatically imported into the current file and displays in the Resource Manager; see Concept: Resource Libraries). The following sketch styles are pre-defined, and can be selected as a default sketch style. Custom sketch styles that have been added to the file also display in the Resource Manager and can be selected as a sketch style (see Creating Custom Sketch Styles).

Unused sketch styles can be purged; see Purging Items from a File.

Sketch style resources do not display in the Resource Manager until a sketch-related option is selected for the first time.
