I changed the design standard and gave it name, in customer default. When I open old model, still old drawing-standard is active.
How I can switch the standard?

Thanks

Did you restart NX afterwards? Customer Defaults do not take effect until you restart NX.

Simply making a change in the customer defaults won't affect existing drawings; the settings are saved in the file preferences. However, you can inherit the customer default settings into an existing file. Open the file of interest and go into the drafting preferences; look for an "inherit" option (location may differ depending on what version of NX you are using).

I use NX7.5
NX has been reset
While in drawing, Preference, drafting, drawing setting (use setting from standard)
But still is active the old standard
I did once change to the new standard but did not write down the procedure.

So how I can activate the new standard
 
While in Drafting, go to...

Tools -> Drafting Standard...

Now this will only effect that next dimension/annotation created. If you're looking to update any existing drafting objects, they will have to be explicitly edited to that effect.
