NOTE The Linetype control displays the current linetype. If the linetype you want
to use is already loaded, you can click the Linetype control and click the linetype
to make it current.
To change the linetype assigned to a layer
1 Click Home tab ➤ Layers panel ➤ Layer Properties.
2 In the Layer Properties Manager, select the linetype name you want to
change.
3 In the Select Linetype dialog box, select the linetype you want. Click OK.
4 Click OK again.
Quick Reference
LINETYPE
Loads, sets, and modifies linetypes.
CELTYPE
Sets the linetype of new objects.
Change the Linetype of an Object
You can change the linetype of an object by reassigning it to another layer,
by changing the linetype of the layer the object is on, or by specifying a
linetype for the object explicitly.
You have three choices for changing the linetype of an object:
■ Reassign the object to another layer with a different linetype. If an object's
linetype is set to BYLAYER, and you reassign the object to a different layer,
it acquires its linetype from the new layer.
■ Change the linetype assigned to the layer that the object is on. If an object's
linetype is set to BYLAYER, it acquires the linetype of its layer. When you
change the linetype assigned to a layer, all objects on that layer assigned
the BYLAYER linetype are updated automatically.
