List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Linetype Filters
Determines which linetypes to display in the linetype list. You can filter
linetypes based on whether they are xref-dependent, or whether they are
referenced by objects.
List of Linetypes
Displays the loaded linetypes according to the option specified in Linetype
Filters. To quickly select all or clear all linetypes, right-click in the linetype
list to display the shortcut menu.
Current Indicates which linetype is current.
Double-click a linetype to set it as the current linetype. Setting the current
linetype to BYLAYER means that an object assumes the linetype that is assigned
to a particular layer. Setting the linetype to BYBLOCK means that an object
assumes the CONTINUOUS linetype until it is grouped into a block. Whenever
the block is inserted, all objects inherit the block's linetype. The
CELTYPE
(page 1186) system variable stores the linetype name.
Linetype Displays names of loaded linetypes. To rename a linetype, select it
and then click it again and enter a new name. BYLAYER, BYBLOCK,
CONTINUOUS, and xref-dependent linetypes cannot be renamed.
Appearance Displays a sample of selected linetypes.
Description Displays descriptions of the linetypes, which can be edited in
the Details area.
Load (+)
Displays the
Load or Reload Linetypes dialog box (page 578), in which you can
load into the drawing selected linetypes from the acad.lin file and add them
to the linetype list.
Delete (-)
Deletes selected linetypes from the drawing. You can delete only unused
linetypes. The BYLAYER, BYBLOCK, and CONTINUOUS linetypes cannot be
deleted.
NOTE Be careful about deleting linetypes if you are working on a drawing in a
shared project or one based on a set of layering standards. The deleted linetype
definition remains stored in the acad.lin or acadiso.lin file and can be reloaded.
Details
Provides alternative access to properties and additional settings.
