COPY LEADER STYLE BETWEEN DRAWINGS

I want to use a user arrow and leader style in different drawings. It would be easiest to copyclip it as for dimstyles and textstyles but it doesn't seem to work. It is boring to recreate leader styles in each drawing. Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hello.

    If you want to use COPYCLIP and PASTECLIP, you could create some entities in the source drawing and assign them the styles you want to copy.

    Then, select the entities, copy them, activate the target drawing, and paste the entities.
    This will automatically copy the styles, not just the entities.

    Alternatively, without using COPYCLIP, you could use the Drawing Explorer.
    To do this, you need to open both drawings.

    First, open the Drawing Explorer and expand the tree of the source drawing.
    Go to the tab with the text styles for instance, select some styles and use the toolbar to copy them.

    Then, still in the Drawing Explorer, expand the tree of the target drawing, and go to text styles.
    Finally, use the paste button in the toolbar to paste the copied styles.

    Similarly, other styles or features could be copied.

    If the target file has a style with the same name as the one you want to copy in from the source file, then copy/paste won't work. The dimension or leader that you copy in will use the style definition that's already in the target file.
