Linetype
The available
linetypes are displayed in a list, the first eight types being unavailable
as they correspond to the default linetypes (displayed in the Object
Properties panel) and cannot be modified.
First, double-click the linetype to be modified. The Linetype editor lets
you define either a mono-dimensional linetype, or a bi-dimensional linetype.
- Mono-dimensional linetype
- The Mono-dimensional linetype editor dialog box lets you define the
linetype used for visualization and print purposes.
In the Visualization
definition area, click to define the linetype pattern that is divided
into 16 squares. A white square corresponds to a drawing, a black square corresponds
to a blank.
In the Print
definition box, enter the length in millimeters for each pattern
segment. Do not forget to leave a blank space after each character you enter.
A
positive value indicates a drawing, and a negative value indicates a move without
drawing.
Click OK.
- Bi-dimensional linetype
In the Bi-dimensional linetype editor dialog box, click a start and an end
point to create a segment.Repeat this step as many times as required to define the
pattern.
You can create segment breaks by double-clicking a point, and then moving the pointer to draw a
new segment.
Click OK.
