How do I store local dimension styles so I can load them into another file? Power InRoads V8i (SELECTseries 10)

The best way is to create a DGNLIB file to hold your dimension styles and Import your styles into that drawing through the Dimension Styles dialog. Then you need to make sure that you set the MS_DGNLIBLIST configuration variable to include that file & path so that the styles are automatically available in every file.

to speed it up when you create the dimstyle.dgnlib  you have the  option to import the dim style  you created in your drg you already built... or ref attach and copy  a dimension  should also copy the dim style, then detach and add / build all you extra  dim styles then via Mary's suggestion  you will use the dgnlib as a single source automatically  to use a common file to add or  modify you styles.... and always available  to your  works spaces/ projects...

As mentioned already you can share the Dimension Styles via a DGNLIB, The variable MS_DGNLIBLIST_DIMENSIONSTYLES can also be used, further information can be found in the help
