Civil 3D – Stop using context menu for Major Style Edits
This option costs me SOOOOO much time every day. Well, that and not saving valuable changes to my template. So in tune with James’ famous PLEASE STOP posts, I’ll post some of my own now and then, mostly for my own sake. Perhaps I’ll save a few of you some frustration.
Editing a style by selection through a Right Click Context menu is such a cool, convenient option, right. So much so, that faced with a large amount of style tuning, I’ll pick it anyhow. JUST STOP!! Break the habit.
Why?
Here’s the thing. It all revolves around this magic button.

Welcome. ようこそ。
AU 2010! Yeah, well I’m back and already looking forward to next year.
I won the Inventor 2011 Beta Contests for Simulation. Now I’m back to pounding out courseware again.
Don’t forget the supportive folks at Autodesk University, Autodesk Certifications, Civil3d.com, BIM on the Rocks, and Tekni.
I took on some design contracts this past year, and things went quite well. If you need a design put on paper, or a problem worked out, let me know.
If you want to see something, please post to the Civil3D or Inventor product pages. I will continue do my best. みんあさんがんばれ。

I am a veteran with extensive experience in Aerospace maintenance, Mechanical engineering and manufacturing, and Civil Engineering/Surveying, both field and office, and I speak English and Japanese.

I Currently use AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010, Autodesk Inventor 2010, MasterCAM X2, InventorCAM, and Mach3.
