Versioning is now available for updating a project's symbol styles programmatically.
Updating symbol styles in older projects works with 18.0 SP3 and later and is not compatible in 18.0 SP2 or earlier.
Updating symbol styles will overwrite the existing styles. If you have manually made changes or added new features to the existing styles, those values will not be retained.
Cameo Concept Modeler diagrams are intended to be as non-technical as possible for subject matter experts. However, symbol styles may sometimes expose technical details that are not appropriate for that kind of audience. Concept Modeler, therefore, offers to tweak the symbol styles called Default and Defined Elsewhere, which you can update the symbol styles, defer updating the styles, or make Concept Modeler stop asking you about updating them.
The Ask to update outdated symbol styles options, which open the following message Update 'Default' symbol style dialog or Update 'Defined Elsewhere' symbol styledialog asking you to update symbol styles when loading a Concept Modeling project with an older set of symbol styles, is are set to true by default. If you set it them to false, the message dialog those dialogs will not open.
To enable/disable the Ask to update outdated symbol styles options
On the main menu, click Options > Project.
In the Project Options dialog, on the left pane, click General then Styling.
Select the Ask to update outdated 'Default' symbol styles or Ask to update outdated 'Defined Elsewhere' symbol styles option to set it to true.
Click OK.
In the following message Update 'Default' symbol style dialog and Update 'Defined Elsewhere' symbol styledialog, if you select Yes, Concept Modeler will update your the symbol styles. If you select No, the prompt dialogs will continue to appear next time when loading a Concept Modeling project with an older set of symbol styles.
