StyleFitter

StyleFitter's basic workflow: pick one object, find similar objects, and apply your target properties to every found object in one click.

1. Click 📌 Pick object — the window hides and you click an object in the drawing.
2. StyleFitter reads all properties of that object and fills the filter rows automatically. A search runs immediately — no extra click needed.
3. Review the filter rows. Remove rows you don't need via the ✖ at the end of the row. The Current value column determines what's searched for; leave it empty to match all objects.
4. Enter a New value for each property you want to change. Leave empty to leave that property untouched.
5. The guidance panel at the bottom shows the next step after every action.
6. Click Apply changes. Every matching object is updated.

You don't have to pick an object first. You can also build a filter entirely yourself via ＋ Add row.

1. Click ＋ Add row. A new row appears with a property selector, an operator, and two value fields.
2. Choose the property (Layer, Color, Text style, etc.) and the operator (equals, not equal, contains, etc.).
3. Enter a current value to filter on. Leave empty to match all objects.
4. Enter a new value to apply. Leave empty to leave that property untouched.
5. Add as many rows as needed — all rows are combined with AND logic.
6. Click 🔍 Find objects, then Apply changes.

StyleFitter can load layers and styles from an external DWG — your office standard or a client template. On apply, missing styles are imported automatically.

1. In the New values from section at the bottom of the window, select the Reference drawing.
2. Click Browse… and choose the reference DWG file. StyleFitter reads all layers, text styles, dimension styles and MLeader styles from that file.
3. The New value dropdowns now show the values from the reference drawing.
4. On apply, missing styles are imported automatically from the reference drawing.

The ↓ ByLayer button is a shortcut that resets all common property overrides across the entire drawing to ByLayer in one click.

1. Click ↓ ByLayer. StyleFitter automatically loads 6 filter rows: Object type = All, Color → ByLayer, Linetype → ByLayer, Lineweight → ByLayer, Transparency → ByLayer, Linetype scale → 1.
2. A search runs immediately. The counter shows all objects in the drawing.
3. Optionally remove rows for properties you want to keep.
4. Click Apply changes. Only objects with an actual override are changed.

Enable Scan blocks to include objects inside block definitions in the find and apply operations.

1. Check Scan blocks in the options.
2. Click 🔍 Find objects. The counter now also shows objects inside block definitions, listed separately: "152 in block definitions".
3. Click Apply changes. Objects in block definitions are modified directly — all instances of the block are updated immediately.

Use a boundary to limit the search to a specific area of the drawing.

1. Click ▢ Set boundary in the toolbar.
2. Draw a rectangle in the drawing around the desired area.
3. The boundary label shows the dimensions: "Boundary: 24.50×18.30".
4. Click 🔍 Find objects — only objects within the boundary are included.
5. To remove the boundary, click the ✖ next to the boundary label.

StyleFitter warns at startup if there are layers that are off, frozen or locked. Objects on those layers can't be found or processed.

1. If the warning banner appears, click Fix layers. StyleFitter unlocks, thaws and turns on all layers — and stores the original states.
2. Work normally — find objects and apply your changes.
3. When you close StyleFitter, all layers are automatically restored to their original state.

StyleFitter has two built-in help systems that guide you at every step.

1. Guidance panel: The colored bar at the bottom of the window always shows what just happened and what the next step is. It updates after every action.
2. Help mode (?): Click the ? button in the top right to activate help mode. Hover over a button or control to see a description. Click ? again to exit.
