SettingDescription
Styles

Sets the line style. The frame displays the MicroStation line-style number on the left and the screen/print view on the right. Patterns can be added or removed, set as the default, loaded, or saved.

A PostScript line style is determined by up to 10 line (gap pairs) measured in millimeters. For example, a definition of (3, 1) (1, 1) gives a line of 3 mm, followed by a gap of 1 mm, followed by a line of 1 mm, followed by a gap of 1 mm. Not to scale it would look similar to ___ _ ___ _ ___ _ ___ _ ___ _

A definition with no pairs indicates a solid line. Line styles, like line weights, can be accessed either attached to a drawing, or changed through default settings.
