Creating styles: general procedure |
Scroll |
To create a new style, please to the following:
1.Depending on the type of objects the styles of which you will be working with, run from the menu Setup — Style Library one of the following commands:
Line Styles...,
Hatch Styles...,
Text Styles....
The style sets and libraries dialog will appear on the screen.
2.Select the location of the new style.
For this, use the Show Library... buttons
, Show set...
or Show Document
. You can also create a library or a set (see section Creating style libraries and sets) for placing a new style.
3.Click the Create
button.
Please note that you can only create a new style in the current document or set if the Embedded tab is active. After you press Create, the object style setup dialog box will appear on the screen. Working with the Create Line Styles dialog is described in section Setting up a custom line style, with the Create Hatch Styles dialog — see Section Setting up a custom hatch style, with the Create Text Styles dialog — see Section Setting up a custom text style.
4.Set up the parameters of the new style and click OK to close the dialog box.
The name of the created style will appear in the active dialog box for working with style sets and libraries. You can edit the new style or copy it to another location — a library, set, or current document.
You can also create a new line, hatch, or text style in the current document while creating/editing an object — a curve, hatch, or text. This process is described below using the example of a line style. The procedure for creating a new hatch (text) style while creating/editing a hatch (text) is the same.
A style created when creating/editing an object is no different from one created in the dialog box for working with style sets and libraries.
To create a new line style when creating/editing a curve, follow these steps.
1.Expand the Style list in the Parameter panel and select the Other style line.
The line style selection dialog box will appear on the screen.

4.The name of the created style will appear in the list of lines in the current document. You can assign this style to the current curve by clicking the Select button in the line style selection dialog.
