Setting | Description |
---|---|
Multi-line styles list box | Lists the multi-lines in the active multi-line definition. To modify the attributes of a multi-line, you must first select it. A sample of the selected multi-line style is displayed at the bottom of the dialog. You can select the multi-line style using the key-in MLINESTYLE EDIT STYLE <style_name>. A multi-line can have up to 16 component lines. For each line, the Offset is listed along with line Attributes that override OpenPlant Support Engineering 's active settings. When placing a multi-line, the active values are used. Right clicking in the Multi-line style list box brings up a pop-up menu containing Activate, Save, Copy, Rename, Delete, Reset and Remap Elements.
Selecting Remap Elements opens the Remap Multi-line Elements dialog, which allows you to move a multi-line's component elements from one style to another. |
Profiles tab | The Profiles tab contains controls for selecting multi-lines and setting their offsets and symbology overrides. You can select the multi-lines style in the profile tab using the key-in MLINESTYLE EDIT PROFILE <profile_number>. |
End Caps and Joints tab | The End Caps and Joints tab contains controls for specifying the appearance of the start cap, end cap or joint lines. You can select the end caps or joint using the key-in MLINESTYLE EDIT CAP <cap_number>. Enter the <cap_number> as 1 for Start Cap, 2 for End Cap, and 3 for Joints. |
