Design Styles

In the Designer XI application, the Design Style determines the look and feel of the components on the map. Design Styles determine the symbology for both existing components and new components. If you have ever used an application in the ArcFM Desktop Suite, Design Styles are the same concept as Stored Displays.

Designer XI leverages the .stylx Style file generated by ArcGIS Pro. In short, you create the symbols you require in ArcGIS Pro, upload the .stylx file into the client app, then perform configurations to match the symbols from ArcGIS Pro to the components in Designer XI.

In addition to creating your own styles, Schneider Electric strongly recommends you download the Design Style Samples and as a first step, change the symbols and colors to match the symbols and colors used at your company. Changing symbols and colors occurs in ArcGIS Pro. In that way, you can view the sample, but in a modified form so you can easily recognize feature types.
