Transfer Project Standards: Not Transferring Object Styles

[Chad Smith]

I am having problems with the 'Transfer Project Standards' and in particular the object styles not being transfered into my project/family.

If the object style doesn't exist, it creates a new one. But if it does exist, it doesn't update the style with the new transfered one.

Is this the way it is supposed to work? If not then I think it should be changed so it does (maybe to the wishlist). It seems to do it for all the other items.

When you get the warning that object styles exist, choose overwrite.

That updates the existing versions.

When I select the 'Object Styles' checkbox in the 'Transfer Project Standards' dialogue (Refer image TPS.jpg) it asks me if I want to overwrite line patterns (Refer image Overwrite.jpg). Shouldn't it be asking me if I want to overwrite the Object Styles? (Image OS.jpg)

I was going to suggest that any project setting you really want to "replace" but "keep"...maybe renaming it upfront would eliminate the message at least? Just a thought...

maybe renaming it upfront would eliminate the message at least?

Yeah, that's what I've been doing for the moment.
It almost looks as though it maybe a small bug, and it doesn't pick up the correct item to transfer.

I have noticed this too. I think it may add object styles that don't exist. but it never changes the lineweights associated with the object style.
