Specifying the Display Properties of a Window Style
In most cases, you want the appearance of windows that belong to the same style to be consistent throughout a drawing.
To achieve this, you specify the display properties of the windows in each window style:
■
The layer, color, and linetype of window components
■
The hatching used with each component
■
The cut plane height and the display of components relative to the cut plane
■
Other specific window display information, such as window rise
Changing the Layer, Color, and Linetype of Window Components
Use this procedure to change the display properties of the window style:
■
Visibility (display component is on or off)
■
By material (material assigned to the display component determines its layer properties)
■
Layer
■
Color
■
Linetype
■
Lineweight
■
Linetype scale
NOTE If a material assignment determines the properties of components in the window style, you can change the properties
of the display component by clearing By Material or by overriding the material assignment with a different material. For more
information, see
“ Assigning Materials to a Window Style ” on page 1085 .
