About the Style Preview
Icon Command Name Description
  Style Preview Shows the gallery of defined styles. The style preview images reflect many but not all style properties.
Quick Style (Available when at least one actor is selected.) Creates a new style from all properties (except name and location) of the selected actor. When multiple actors are selected, the style contains only the common properties.
Auto Subscribe Enables style subscriptions. When an actor is subscribed to a style, the actor automatically updates when the style is modified. When Auto Subscribe is selected:
  • New actors are automatically subscribed to the default family style, or to the default Generic style when no family default is defined.
  • Clicking a style in the gallery subscribes the selected actors to the style.
When Auto Subscribe is cleared:
  • Default styles are applied to new actors but without subscriptions. Future changes to the style do not affect the actors.
  • Clicking a style in the gallery applies the style but does not create subscriptions.

Note: You cannot change subscribed properties in the Properties pane. You must update the style to change the properties.

Unsubscribe Removes style subscriptions from the selected actors. Style changes no longer affect the actors.
