Line style behaves similarly, instead changing the appearance of the selected edges. I’ve created a few centerlines on this side view that I’d like to thicken up for stronger emphasis. We can also switch it back to the default as defined in the template’s document properties. We can choose a thickness from the list or enter our own value. Line Thickness gives us the option to change the thickness of selected lines. I’ve used it here to make my geometric tolerance blue. This selection will override the system defaults which are defined in System Options under Color. In summary, it allows us to change the color of edges, sketch entities, and certain types of annotations. The next button on the toolbar is Line Color. In our case this consequentially added the new dimension onto that layer.Īs a note, the layer information will be included when both importing and exporting *.dxf or *.dwg files.

We’ll start by moving some existing annotations onto the newly created dimensions layer by using the Change Layer button.Īdditionally, any newly created entity is automatically added to the active layer and assigned that layer’s properties. Creating a new layer automatically makes it the active layer. We create a layer by defining these options in Layer Properties.

These allow us to change the active layer and set Color, Thickness, and Style properties for entities.

Working from left to right across the toolbar, we first have Change Layer and Layer Properties. However, this can be undocked and dragged to wherever the user prefers. We see that when we make this selection, the Line Format toolbar appears at the bottom left of the screen. This can also be done through the View menu dropdown under the Toolbars flyout.
