Line Type

The Line Type dialog controls the line style used to create drawing entities, except text, in AGi32. To change the Line Type, click in the Line Type cell on the Properties toolbar.AGi32 allows for several commonly used architectural styles when creating drawing entities for backgrounds or presentation. To change the line style, click the Line Type cell in the Properties toolbar. The Line Type dialog offers 5 line styles to choose from.

When the solid line type is selected, you may select a solid line width based on the current display units (feet or meters) or "pixel" (where line width is 1 pixel wide). If a line width of 0 is entered, the line width will default back to "pixel". A pixel is defined as a dot on your screen or a dot on the printer.

The line width text box scrolls in increments of 0.25, although any value may be manually entered instead. For other line types, the line width is fixed at one pixel.

Be aware that different Zoom levels may make solid lines of more than one pixel in width look different. For example, if a line of 1 Meter is specified, the line width will look different at a Zoom level of 100m x 100m than 1000m x 1000m. The absolute width is based on your printed resolution.

Selecting line type:

1. Click on the radio button adjacent to the desired line type.
2. If solid line type is selected, use the up and down arrows to select the desired line width or enter the desired line width manually. For Pixel (thickness of one pixel), enter 0 or scroll down to the bottom of the list.
3. Click Ok.
