Change the Linetype of an Object
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.
■ Specify a linetype for an object to override the layer's linetype. You can
specify the linetype of each object explicitly. If you want to override the
layer-determined linetype of an object with a different one, change an
existing object's linetype from
BYLAYER to a specific linetype, such as
DASHED.
If you want to set a specific linetype for all subsequently created objects,
change the current linetype setting on the Properties toolbar from
BYLAYER
to a specific linetype.
