Line Mapping Settings dialog box

The Line Mapping Settings dialog box is used to set the line weight and line style parameters used for rasterizing the vector elements, to turn on or off the Automatic Vector Stamping toggle, and to set other parameters controlling this function.

Setting	Description
Scale	All parameters in the Line Weight and Line Style group will be affected with this multiplying factor when a vector is stamped.
Line Weight	Use the Line Weight group to define each of the 16 standard line weights (0 to 15) in working units. If you are using a custom line style, the working units settings specified in MicroStation is determined automatically by the Line Mapping tool. When a vector element is stamped into an image, the weight of a line is translated into the corresponding width specified in working units.
Line Style	Use the Line Style group to define each of the eight styles (0 to 7) in working units. If you are using a custom line style, the working units settings specified in MicroStation is determined automatically by the Line Mapping tool. When a vector element is stamped into an image, the style of a line is translated into the corresponding set of dashes and gaps specified in working units. You can define a sequence of up to four pairs of dashes and gaps for each line style. This sequence is drawn repeatedly when a line is stamped.
Line Ends	Line Cap — Specifies the line caps to be used in the Merge and Stamp operations. Available values are: None Square Triangle Round Line Square — Add a new section for the new Line Join setting. Specifies the line joins to be used in the Merge and Stamp operations. Available values are: None Miter Bevel Round
Automatic Vector Stamping	When on, all elements normally written to the design file will be stamped with the present settings.
OK	Use the OK button to save the present settings and close the dialog box.
Cancel	Use the Cancel button to close the dialog box without saving the present settings. Note: A limited set of Line Mapping Settings is also located in the Descartes category of the Preferences dialog box. From the MicroStation Workspace menu, select Preferences, then choose "Descartes" in the Category list, and select the Line Mapping tab.
