Setting description


List of line styles

The list of line styles used in the current document is presented in the form of a table with Style and View columns.The Style column displays style names. You cannot edit the name of a style.

The View column displays samples of line styles.

The options to the right of the names allow you to enable/disable the display of the corresponding styles in the Style list in the Options panel when working with objects. The Normal style is always available in the Parameter panel and cannot be disabled.

The option in the table header allows you to enable or disable the display of all styles in the list at once. The option can be in one of three states:

enabled  — all styles in the list are enabled (all styles present in the list are available in the Parameter panel),

undefined  — list contains both enabled and disabled options (styles with enabled options are shown in the Parameter panel, while those with disabled options are not),

disabled  — all options in the list are disabled (only the Normal style is available in the Options panel, other styles from the list are unavailable).

If the state of an option is undefined, clicking an option will disable it, the next click will enable it.

Move up/down

The buttons allow you to move the style highlighted in the list one position up or down.

List rearrangement

The button allows you to group the styles whose display is enabled at the top of the list.

Change the list

The button allows to add or exclude custom line styles to the list. After pressing the button the Line styles selection dialog appears on the screen.


Search field

The field allows you to find the line style by name. All lines whose cells contain the entered text are displayed in the search results list.


Reember the last style

The option controls the way of defining the default line style.

If the option is enabled, the line style of the previous one is used to draw each next geometric object.

If the option is disabled, the line style that appears at the first position of the list becomes the default one — the words «Default» are added to its name. If the first or several first styles in the list are disabled, the first enabled style becomes the default one. The default style will be offered every time after calling the command to build a geometric object. However, if several objects are drawn while the same command is running, the default drawing style for the next object is the line style used for the previous one.

After completing the settings, click Apply and close the dialog box. To exit the dialog box without changing the settings, click Cancel.
