You must define line styles manually within the templates delivered in [Product Folder]\SharedContent\Drawings\Catalog\Templates\Styles.sha. You can select any one linear style from the styles.sha document. If the Line Style that you want has not been defined in the .sha file, then the software defaults to a solid black line style.
You must use a geometric analyzer module when setting this property. The following geometric analyzer modules use the Line Style property:
-
Object Axis (DrawingGAEquipmentStyle2)
-
Aligned Objects (DrawingGALabelInline)
When you place lines using the Line Style property, you must select True for the Place Lines property. If you select False for the Place Lines property, then the software ignores the defined Line Style. For more information, see Place Lines (placeLines).
To manually edit the .xml file, specify the style that you want applied to the leader
line. Enclose this value within the following .xml tags.
<lineStyle>ANSI</lineStyle>
