Symbol Format Properties Line Style Tab

The Line Style tab controls the color, size and format of lines (for link and other one-dimensional symbols) and borders (for two-dimensional symbols, such as classes or tables). You can modify the line style of any symbol in the model. However, in case of fundamental changes in the design semantics of a link symbol (such as a PDM reference for example), it automatically reapplies the default format for the link.



You can specify the following properties:
