The following issues apply to working with line styles in DWG workmode.

• Only line styles that can be exported to DWG files are displayed in the line style selection menu. Due to the limitations of AutoCAD, the number of line styles displayed will be much smaller than in DGN workmode. The standard line styles (line codes 1–7) are unavailable, as are any line styles with features such as widths or offset lines. The line styles may come from MicroStation line style libraries, or they may be imported from AutoCAD .lin files using the Line Style Editor dialog.
• When saving a DWG file to a V7 DGN file, all line styles are written to a file called <DGNfile>_lstyle.rsc. (<DGNfile> is the name of the V7 DGN file being saved.) To see these line styles in any MicroStation version prior to V8.1, put the resource file in a folder that is included in the MS_SYMBRSRC configuration variable. Before V8.1, MicroStation did not support AutoCAD's method of positioning line styles, so symbol location will be slightly different.
