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.
Depending on which command is called, the corresponding dialog appears on the screen:
Line styles...
Hatch styles...
Text Styles...
The dialog has two representations, which can display lists of styles stored in different locations—a library, a style set, or a document. To activate the required representation, left-click it.
Above each window is a search field where you can search for a style by name. To find the desired style, enter the desired characters in the search field, then select the desired string from the list of search results that appears. When working with a document or set, the search is filtered by style type—a filter list is displayed to the left of the search field.
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.
