Hatch style selection dialog box |
Scroll |
Allows you to select the current hatch drawing style.
Immediately after opening, only the left side of the dialog box appears on the screen, displaying a list of hatching styles for the current document. The styles are marked with icons:
— system style,
— embedded style,
— library style; an exclamation mark in a red circle may appear next to the style name
, if style list link with the library.
When expanded, the dialog has two windows. The right side of the dialog is used to select a library (or set) of styles and add them to the document's style list. Only one viewport can be active at a time. Activation is accomplished by clicking on the window.
Above each viewport is a search field where you can search for hatch styles by number or name. In the left window, the search is filtered by hatch style type. To find the required style, enter the search characters in the search field, then select the desired line from the search results list.
Styles in the list can be sorted by name or number. To change the sorting, click the desired column header. A triangle appears in the column header by which styles are sorted. Its position indicates the sorting direction—ascending or descending. A sample of the style whose name is highlighted in the list is displayed in the preview field at the bottom of the dialog.
