| Names
|
Lists the names of line styles in the open line
style libraries.
MicroStation searches for and
automatically opens the line style libraries specified in the
MS_SYMBRSRC configuration variable
settings. If
MS_SYMBRSRC is not defined or the
specified file(s) are not found,
MicroStation searches for and
automatically opens
"lstyle.rsc" in the directory specified in the
MS_RSRCPATH setting.
Double-clicking a line style name makes the line
style the Active Line Style for element placement.

line_style
]
Note: In an
LC= key-in,
line_style can be a partial line
style name. If the partial name does not uniquely specify a line style, the
Select Line Style dialog opens. In this dialog a line style can be selected
from the list of those whose names are partially specified.
Note: In an
LC= key-in,
line_style can be the number of a
standard line style (0-7) instead of the name (or partial name) of a custom
line style.

| File
|
Shows the filename of the contributing resource
file.
|
| Origin
|
If on, sets the starting width, in
master units, of each
dash stroke displayed with width in the
Active Line Style (thereby modifying the starting widths specified for these
strokes in the line style definition).
While the check box is off, Origin cannot be
adjusted (the field is dimmed).

| End
|
If on, sets the ending width, in
master units, of each
dash stroke displayed with width in the
Active Line Style (thereby modifying the ending widths specified for these
strokes in the line style definition).
While the check box is off, End cannot be adjusted
(the field is dimmed).

If on, prevents the Scale factor from being applied
to the line style. This option is provided for compatibility with DWG format.

| Scale Factor
|
If on, sets the scale factor applied to all
displayable characteristics (dash length and width, point symbol size) of the
Active Line Style.
While the check box is off, Scale Factor cannot be
adjusted (the field is dimmed).

Note: In 3D, the
surface normal vector that defines the plane used for line offsets and point
symbol orientation is automatically set based on the z-axis of the view in
which the element is placed.
|
| Shift
|
Sets the method by which each stroke pattern in the
Active Line Style is shifted. If Distance or Fraction is chosen, a field
displays for setting the distance or fraction.
- None — stroke
patterns are not shifted.
- Distance — the
distance, in master units, that stroke patterns are shifted relative to the
beginning of elements or element segments (thereby modifying all such distances
specified in the line style definition). For example, if the distance is equal
to half the length of a stroke pattern component of the Active Line Style, only
the second half of the stroke pattern displays at the start of elements before
the stroke pattern begins to repeat.
- Fraction — the
fraction, in decimal, of the first strokes in stroke patterns that display at
the start and end of elements or element segments (thereby modifying all such
fractions specified in the line style definition).
- Centered — used to
replicate DWG line styles by finding the number of whole patterns of a line
style that fit on a given line, centering the patterns on the line and then
stretching the leading and trailing dashes (or gaps) to fit.

| Click to Activate (line style description)
|
Shows the line style selected in the Names list box
with active modifiers (Origin/End, Scale Factor, Shift) applied. Clicking this
button makes the line style the Active Line Style for element placement.
Note: The line style
description is actually the description of the line style component to which
the line style selected in the Names list box is directly linked.
