Yes, Ideate StyleManager will help with the problem of imported object styles in two ways:
Support for Dimensions, Arrowheads, as well as Text Styles and Fonts has been added to Ideate StyleManager.
One of the primary functions of Ideate StyleManager is to analyze styles to help you assess whether it is in use and if so, where it is in use. Usage is indicated in two places as shown below. At the left the number in front of each style is an indication of the relative usage of the style. If a “0” is shown, it means that the style is not referenced anywhere in the project (or template or family file) and therefore that the deletion of that style will not impact the project.* The right-hand side of the dialog displays detailed information about how the style selected is being used.
*The one exception is that we do allow CAD Imports (not links) to be deleted. There will be an extra warning when this happens.
Ideate StyleManager works in the project file (.RVT) as well as within project and family templates (.RTE) and family files (.RFA). Additionally, when you work within a project file, Ideate StyleManager will batch-edit any loaded families that also reference the selected object style, line pattern, fill pattern, material or material appearance asset.
Ideate Explorer displays information about elements that can be selected within the Revit display area such as walls, equipment, sheets or views. Ideate StyleManager manages the definitions for the graphic and visibility controls of those elements such as line patterns, materials, filters or object styles. Ideate Explorer is intended for use by every Revit user, while Ideate StyleManager is intended for BIM Managers, Content Managers, and other Revit users that are responsible for ensuring project health.
