System-Defined Line Styles
A system-defined line style is specified by combining one of ten basic line patterns with one of three line widths.
The line-widths are:
•
THIN
PLOT and screen: single stroke line of minimum thickness.
Other export formats: Width defined in system database, 0.25mm by default.
•
MEDIUM
Width defined in system database, 0.35mm by default.
•
THICK
Width defined in system database, 0.70mm by default.
The width definitions for THIN, MEDIUM and THICK are held in the system database for the project. They can be modified by an administrator.
Thus for example:
NLSTYLE LDASHED
gives a long-dashed line of THIN width
FFSTYLE SOLID
gives a solid line of THIN width
OBSTYLE DOTTEDMedium
gives a dotted line of MEDIUM width
PLSTYLE DDOTTEDMedium
gives a double-dotted line of MEDIUM width
CLSTYLE CHAINEDThick
gives a chained line of THICK width
BFSTYLE DASHEDThick
gives a dashed line of THICK width
Note that for minimum thickness lines the qualifier THIN is omitted.
For historical reasons an alternative set of line patterns is provided.
These alternative line-patterns can be combined with widths named WIDE and XWIDE, thus for example:
NLSTYLE DASHPattern
gives an alternative dashed pattern of THIN width
OBSTYLE SHORTDASHWide
gives a short-dashed line of MEDIUM width
BFSTYLE DASHDOTXWide
gives a dash-dotted line of THICK width
FFSTYLE SOLIDXWIDE
gives a solid line of THICK width
Note that for consistency WIDE and XWIDE can be also used with the basic pattern SOLID.
