A.6 Changing the Node Style through Binding

At this point, the Ambient node style has been set in the drawing. Now, you will change the node style for a specific element, then when prompted, change the node style for all nodes in the drawing.

The following example applies the binding | specify switch.

To update the node style for all drawing nodes:

  1. In the Explorer pane, under Administration > Graphics > Node Styles, drag and drop the RenderingTestSpecify node style to the RenderingTesting element in the drawing.

  2. Select All Nodes from the menu.

    The following results occur:

    • The binding node style is set for the binding tree that starts with RenderingTesting as the root.

    • The Ambient node style also changes, as All Nodes was selected.

    • Verify that the drawing resembles the figure below. The manually-bound CustomChild1 is also rendered using the SPECIFY node style because the AMBIENT node style was changed when All Nodes was selected.

  3. Save the drawing.

  4. Refresh the Operations Center dashboard page and verify the view above displays.
