In this dialog you import linear patterns .sym files. You can also import linear styles, which incorporate linear patterns, for heat tracing symbology. The words heat trace must appear in the name of the style in order for SmartPlant P&ID Options Manager to import the style. Importing a new pattern or style with the same name as an existing pattern in the dialog, overwrites the old information with the new imported information and is immediately written into the project styles file.
