Line Styles

Line Styles opens the Line Styles window box. Use the radio buttons to select a line style:

• Click in the Width field for a line style to change the width for that style, including the units. Press Enter to complete the change.
• Click in the Bend Type field to change the bend type (Corner or Round). Press Enter to complete the change.
• Click in the Cap Type field to change the cap or line-ending type (Flat, Extended, or Round). Press Enter to complete the change.

Since a line has nonzero width, its CapType determines how its ends behave:

• Extended — extends the line by its own width past the endpoint you click.
• Flat — cuts the line perpendicularly at the endpoint you click.
• Round — ends the line with a semicircle.

The existing technology files define line/trace styles, including a CapType (typically Flat) for each style. If you select None as the technology type, you'll automatically get a palette of four styles with a variety of widths, BendTypes and CapTypes.

• Click Add Style to add a new line style to the table.
• Click Delete Style to remove the selected style on the table.
• Click OK to save your changes, or Cancel to close the window without changing anything.
