Is it possible to replace the template in a part?
Is it possible to replace the template in a part?
(OP)
Hi chaps (and chapesses),
I had to do some modelling whilst away from my office and although i managed to hijack a network license to take with me, I forgot about the (network stored) company templates. I now have the issue where I have used the normal UGS ones, as stored on my local drive, and working with the subsequent parts now I'm back on the beach has been a PITA!!
Is there any way of replacing the template within a part / assembly file?
Cheers for your advice in advance,
Jon

only a draft has a template that can be changed (background)
For all others it's just something to have most standard
values including the appropriate toolbars set - nothing more.
So there is nothing to exchange.

Also works the other way, so if you set up a style that you want available to all you can copy it into the template files etc,

I am not a massively experienced user and now know I could have done a couple of easy things differently and made my life easier from the start! Doh!
Is it possible to block change every single dimension in a part from one style to another?
I have tried tools / options / dimension style and changing everything in there and applying but to no avail - changes future dimensions, but all existing dimensions remain as is.
Thanks once again,

The new style will be applied.
Be warned that any formatting (such as changing text orientation) that you have applied to individual dimensions may be removed.

If you did want to change a dimension style in a sketch/profile you would need to go into each sketch to do it, but then you can select dimensions only by using the filter button (between 'Return' & 'Inside' etc) and dragging a box round them.
I'm not even sure if the styles really do anything in model sketches.
