On the Area tab in the Style Editor you can create new or change predefined styles for the Calculate Area Tools.

Styles

In the Styles section, all available styles are displayed, both your own styles and those that come from an external drawing. You can share your styles with co-workers by sending your drawing containing desired styles. When your co-worker has opened the drawing, they will save the styles globally and be free to use your styles.

The currently selected style is set as default for the given component group. If a style comes from an external drawing, it is displayed after the style name as shown below.

In the Style Editor there are four standard Style Tools:

	Add new style: Create a new style. The currently selected style will be cloned and all settings will be copied to the new style.
	Delete style: Delete a style. Default styles cannot be deleted.
	Save style globally: Save styles to use in other drawings. The style will be saved as a .cmstl on your hard drive in CET Documents > Styles. Share the file with others and have them save in the same folder on their hard drive.
	Reset style to default: Any changes made to a style will be undone and original settings will be restored
