Configuring Styles
Styles are sets of properties that you can assign to objects to determine their appearance or function. For
example, a schematic line style defines a schematic line’s appearance, such as how the line is displayed when
crossing other lines. It also controls the line’s function, such as the type of segment that the line represents
in the drawing.
Specifying the Design Rules of a Style
The design rules of a style determine how schematic lines, wires, and plumbing lines are cleaned up when
they are connected to, respectively, schematic symbols, devices or panels, or plumbing fittings.
