Using Colors and Line Styles with Sketches ......................................................................


FIGURE 25.2

The Component Line Font dialog box


Controlling Line Format


The Line Format toolbar contains the Layer tool and four additional tools that control lines: Line
Color, Line Thickness, Line Style, and Color Display Mode. These settings can be controlled
separately from layers; therefore, they can be used in model sketches as well as on drawings. In the
model, the line font can only be displayed for inactive sketches. Any sketch that is both closed and
shown can be displayed with the Line Format settings.


Cross-Reference
For more information on using line styles in the model, see Chapter 6. n


Figure 25.3 shows the Line Format toolbar along with the interfaces for Line Color, Line
Thickness, and Line Style.
