Line Styles menu contents

Overview

This section provides you with a summary of the Line Styles submenu and its available options.

New

Use the New option to create a new line style.

Load

Use the Load option to load an existing line style and display it in the Line Style Editor Window.

Save

Use the Save option to save a created or edited line style into the line style database.

Save As

Use the Save As option to save a created or edited line style into the line style database with a new name and/or description.

Delete

Use the Delete option to remove a line style from the line style database.

Repeat Distance

Use the Repeat Distance option to set/reset the repeat distance of a line style object.

Set Invariance

Use the Set Invariance option to set line style objects to invariant, which means that the line will not be deconvoluted when complex line patterns are created. This will mean that cross-overs will appear at the inside corners if part of the style does not lie on the centre line.

Remove Invariance

Use the Remove Invariance option to remove the invariance on line style objects.

Sine/Cosine Wave

Use the Sine/Cosine Wave option to create trigonometric curves in a line style object. You create the curve by indicating three points (the first and last points and a point that represents the amplitude) and specifying how many points to include in the curve.
