Use of Style Library Sets dialog |
Scroll |
Allows you to create new or edit existing line/hatch/text styles, as well as perform various operations with style sets and libraries.
On the panels in the left and right sides of the dialog, you can display lists of styles stored in different places — a library, set, or document. To activate the desired panel, click on it with the left mouse button. A sign that the panel is active is a frame around it.
The styles in the lists can be sorted by name or number. To change the sorting, click the header of the required column. A triangle is displayed in the column header by which styles are sorted. Its position indicates the direction of sorting — ascending or descending.

To change the sorting, click the header of the required column. A triangle is displayed in the column header by which styles are sorted.
