Invert Filter
Displays linetypes based on the opposites of the criteria you select. Linetypes
that fit the inverse filter criteria are displayed in the linetype list.
Load
Displays the
Load or Reload Linetypes dialog box, in which you can load into
the drawing selected linetypes from the acadlt.lin file and add them to the
linetype list.
Current
Sets the selected linetype to be 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 system
variable stores the linetype name.
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 acadlt.lin or acadltiso.lin file and can be reloaded.
Show Details or Hide Details
