Using line types

A line type is a repetitive combination of line sections and empty spaces in between. Allplan provides 15 different line types, which can be addressed by their number. Using Defaults - Line types + Format Properties on the Tools menu, you can modify the definition of the individual line types. Line type 1 cannot be changed; it is always defined as a continuous line.

An element you are drawing either gets the current line type or it takes the line type from the current layer. For more information, see Defining format properties using layers.
