Inthe Style and Standard Editor I can change the Standard from "Customer 1 Standard" to "Customer 2 Standard". Any new views or dimensions I make adhere to "Customer 2 Standard" but how do I update the existing views and dimensions to adhere to the new style?
Note: When you change a style in the drawing, the features you made before (like dimentions anotations, etc) doesnt not change automatically, only the new dimensions (anotations etc) you do after the changong style, will be done accordingly the activestyle, so.... after changing of style, you have to force the change manually.
The first thing to do before start to work is create and setup templates.... think about the templates the company will need in the future... now you will have more work because someone didnt think at that before... it's not software problem.
..imagine other person wants to maintain the previous work, and start new anotations... or apply new styles without messing with the work already done... is good to be shure tht changing/updating styles doesnt not mess with previous work...
You have to think that software evolve between versions. Usually you want to change work donne in previous versions, created with previous tools, with different setups and capabilities. How you expect that software interpret old works donne with some different tools options, now, in the actual version?
Do you really want that the software change everyting "automatically"?? Without your supervision??!! and having the risk of messing your work?
Hi! I could be wrong but I think there is a workflow allowing users to update styles in a batch. After you make changes to Styles Library, you can run Update Design task in Task Scheduler and select all the drawings you want to update. Then the styles in the drawings will be updated based on the library. This workflow has been available for more than 10 years. Have you tried it?
I misunderstood the requirement. I thought it was about pushing update in styles to individual drawings. The OP wants to switch to a different standard. Indeed, there isn't an automated solution out of box.

Standard Drawings contain standard notes and details and are referenced from the contract plans. That way these commonly used notes and details do not have to be recopied again and again into every set of plans. Standard Drawings help reduce both the number of drawings in project plans and the time it takes to prepare project plans.
The Standard Drawings shown on this website are intended for use only on projects undertaken by the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT). Any use made of these drawings by any other party shall be entirely at the party's own risk. No warranty is given. TDOT reserves the right to void, revise or create new drawings at anytime.
Standard Drawings are in Adobe Acrobat Portable Document Format (PDF). You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader to view and/or print these files. The default for PDF files is 8.5 X 11 print size and portrait orientation. To print standard half-size, the PDF file must be directed to print 11 X 17 and landscape under the PAGE SET-UP option in the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

This volume combines some of the San Diego Area Regional Standard Drawings, as developed by the San Diego Regional Standards Committee, with those additional standard drawings which are unique to public work construction in the City of San Diego. The additional drawings can easily be distinguished by their drawing numbers which contain the letters "SD" and are numbered beginning with 100. Drawings marked with (*) in the revision column are regional drawings that have been modified to City standards.
These drawings shall be used in conjunction with the latest City adopted editions of the Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (i.e., "The GREENBOOK") and the accompanying City Supplement included in the City's Standard Specifications for Public Works Construction (i.e., "The WHITEBOOK").
These drawings are not to scale and may have not been checked for conformance with governing California construction codes; applicable codes and regulations; the latest California Building Code; and other safety and environmental statutes. Therefore, they must be used with care and judgment.
An engineering drawing is a type of technical drawing that is used to convey information about an object. A common use is to specify the geometry necessary for the construction of a component and is called a detail drawing. Usually, a number of drawings are necessary to completely specify even a simple component. These drawings are linked together by a "master drawing." This "master drawing" is more commonly known as an assembly drawing. The assembly drawing gives the drawing numbers of the subsequent detailed components, quantities required, construction materials and possibly 3D images that can be used to locate individual items. Although mostly consisting of pictographic representations, abbreviations and symbols are used for brevity and additional textual explanations may also be provided to convey the necessary information.
The process of producing engineering drawings is often referred to as technical drawing or drafting (draughting).[1] Drawings typically contain multiple views of a component, although additional scratch views may be added of details for further explanation. Only the information that is a requirement is typically specified. Key information such as dimensions is usually only specified in one place on a drawing, avoiding redundancy and the possibility of inconsistency. Suitable tolerances are given for critical dimensions to allow the component to be manufactured and function. More detailed production drawings may be produced based on the information given in an engineering drawing. Drawings have an information box or title block containing who drew the drawing, who approved it, units of dimensions, meaning of views, the title of the drawing and the drawing number.
Technical drawing has existed since ancient times. Complex technical drawings were made in renaissance times, such as the drawings of Leonardo da Vinci. Modern engineering drawing, with its precise conventions of orthographic projection and scale, arose in France at a time when the Industrial Revolution was in its infancy. L. T. C. Rolt's biography of Isambard Kingdom Brunel[2] says of his father, Marc Isambard Brunel, that "It seems fairly certain that Marc's drawings of his block-making machinery (in 1799) made a contribution to British engineering technique much greater than the machines they represented. For it is safe to assume that he had mastered the art of presenting three-dimensional objects in a two-dimensional plane which we now call mechanical drawing. It had been evolved by Gaspard Monge of Mezieres in 1765 but had remained a military secret until 1794 and was therefore unknown in England."[2]
Engineering drawings specify the requirements of a component or assembly which can be complicated. Standards provide rules for their specification and interpretation. Standardization also aids internationalization, because people from different countries who speak different languages can read the same engineering drawing, and interpret it the same way.
For centuries, until the 1970s, all engineering drawing was done manually by using pencil and pen on paper or other substrate (e.g., vellum, mylar). Since the advent of computer-aided design (CAD), engineering drawing has been done more and more in the electronic medium with each passing decade. Today most engineering drawing is done with CAD, but pencil and paper have not entirely disappeared.
Some of the tools of manual drafting include pencils, pens and their ink, straightedges, T-squares, French curves, triangles, rulers, protractors, dividers, compasses, scales, erasers, and tacks or push pins. (Slide rules used to number among the supplies, too, but nowadays even manual drafting, when it occurs, benefits from a pocket calculator or its onscreen equivalent.) And of course the tools also include drawing boards (drafting boards) or tables. The English idiom "to go back to the drawing board", which is a figurative phrase meaning to rethink something altogether, was inspired by the literal act of discovering design errors during production and returning to a drawing board to revise the engineering drawing. Drafting machines are devices that aid manual drafting by combining drawing boards, straightedges, pantographs, and other tools into one integrated drawing environment. CAD provides their virtual equivalents.
