Chapter 6 Diagrams and Symbols
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:
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Color | Specifies the color of the line or border. |
| Width | Specifies the thickness of the line or border. |
| Style | Specifies the format of the line or border, such as invisible, solid, dashed or dotted. |
| Corners | [Link and line symbols only] Specifies the format of corners, such as sharp or rounded right-angles and free angles. |
| Arrow | [Link and line symbols only] Specifies the format of the link or line symbol at its Beginning, Center, and End. |
| Use perpendicular arrow | [Link and line symbols only] Specifies that the link or line object always touches objects at its ends at a right angle. This option allows you to use free angles for the body of a link or line object, while retaining a connection at right angles for its beginning and end. |
