Once you have loaded a color book, you can apply any colors that are defined
in the book to objects in your drawing.
Browse Color Books
Color books are organized alphabetically into pages that you can browse
through. A page holds up to ten colors. If the color book you are browsing
through is not organized into pages, the colors are arranged into pages, with
each page containing up to seven colors.
Work with Linetypes
You can use linetypes to distinguish objects from one another visually and
make your drawing easier to read.
Overview of Linetypes
A linetype is a repeating pattern of dashes, dots, and blank spaces displayed
in a line or a curve. You assign linetypes to objects either by layer or by
specifying the linetype explicitly, independent of layers.
In addition to choosing a linetype, you can set its scale to control the size of
the dashes and spaces, and you can create your own custom linetypes.
NOTE These linetypes should not be confused with the hardware linetypes provided
by some plotters. The two types of dashed lines produce similar results. Do not
use both types at the same time, however, because the results can be
unpredictable.
Some linetype definitions include text and symbols.
You can define a custom linetype that will orient the imbedded text to keep
it readable automatically.
