NOTE In polygons with transparent backgrounds, the colors you see on
the map may differ from the colors displayed in the preview frame because
the preview frame always uses a white background, which may differ from
the color beneath the transparent objects in your map.

box and then do the following:
■ For Line Pattern, specify the pattern for the area border.
■ For Units (Device Space), select the type of units to use to measure
border thickness.
■ For Line Thickness, specify a thickness for the area border.
NOTE Select 0 thickness to draw the border as thin as possible.

Labeling Features
You can label features on feature layers. For more information, see Adding
Labels
(page 1091).
Saving and Loading Styled Feature Layers
After you have styled feature layers, you can save the connection and styling
information to LAYER files that you can share with other users. A LAYER file
contains connection and style information only, no feature data.
NOTE This functionality is for geospatial features only. To save drawing layer
styles, see
Saving a Display Style in the Library (page 664).
When you load a LAYER file, AutoCAD Map 3D adds the source file to the
Map Explorer, creates the connection, adds the feature layer to the Display
Manager
(page 2060), and styles the layer correctly. Drag and drop the LAYER
file from Windows Explorer to the Display Manager.
