Chapter 17 Model Graphics

Applying a line style to symbols

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.

When you modify the line style of a symbol, your selection is saved in the current model and applies only to the current model. The line style applies to selected symbols. In addition, the choice of jagged, right sharp, right rounded, or waved lines apply to all new lines.

Line styles apply to different symbols, as follows:

Styles	Applies style to ...	Description
	Lines and the outlines of shapes and symbols containing text	Defines the thickness of a line
	Lines and the outlines of shapes and symbols containing text	Apply invisible, solid, dashed, and dotted lines
	Lines drawn with Line or Polyline tools only	Position arrowhead at the beginning, the center and the end of lines
	All lines	Make angles jagged, right sharp, right rounded or waved

To apply a line style to a symbol:

1. Select one or more symbols.
2. Select Symbol→Format to display the Symbol Format dialog box.
3. Click the Line Style tab.
4. Click the Style dropdown listboxes.
