STYLESMANAGER

Displays the Plot Style Manager, where you can revise plot style tables.

Control Plotted Lineweight and Linetype

Both lineweight and linetype can be set as an object property or controlled

when plotted by using a plot style. Lineweight or linetype settings in the plot

style override the object's lineweight or linetype at plot time.

Assign and Display Lineweights

When you select the Lineweight field in the Plot Style Table Editor, a sample

of the lineweight as well as its numeric value are displayed. The default setting

for plot style lineweight is Use Object Lineweight. You can modify an existing

lineweight if the one you need is not available.

To view plot style lineweights in a layout, select Display Plot Styles under Plot

Style Table in the Page Setup dialog box.

Assign Linetypes

When you select the Linetype field in the Plot Style Table Editor, a list with

a sample and a description of each linetype are displayed. The default setting

for plot style linetype is Use Object Linetype.

Whether you choose to assign a linetype as a property of the object or as a

plot style, you can set the Adaptive Adjustment option. This option adjusts

the scale of the linetype to complete the linetype pattern. If you don't select

Adaptive Adjustment, the line might end in the middle of a pattern. Turn off

Adaptive Adjustment if linetype scale is important. Turn on Adaptive

Adjustment if complete linetype patterns are more important than correct

linetype scaling.

You can apply a global scale factor to non-ISO linetypes and fill patterns in

plot styles.
