Specifies a rule set, source objects, and actions to use for the marine mode view style. After you select the rule set, you set the style actions for each source in the Action table by identifying tests that specify the objects called by the view and rules that specify how graphics, labels, and dimensions are displayed within the view.
Select Ruleset

Source

You can add more than one row belonging to the same source item.

Tests
There are two types of tests you can apply to specify the objects against which the actions run.
Filter

Custom
Specifies a list of custom tests available for the selected rule set. Select Edit in to display the Custom Tests dialog, and make any needed changes to the test you need for the current action. For more information, see Custom Tests Dialog Box and Custom Tests Dialog Box (Generic Rule Set).
Rules
Graphic
Specifies the graphic rule used for the current action. For each object processed by the rule set view style, the software applies the first action that passes the specified Tests and has a graphic rule specified. The software does not draw the graphic produced by the action unless you select Custom or From ruleset. The From ruleset option tells the software to use the symbols, colors, and line styles specified by the selected rule set. The Custom option tells the software to use a custom graphic rule you provide. You can also use the Edit Custom option to display the Graphic Style dialog box and edit the graphic definition as needed. For more information, see Graphic Style Dialog Box.
Label
Specifies the label rule used for the current action. For each object processed by the rule set view style, the software applies the labels from all the actions that pass the applied tests. More than one label can be added to an object. Select More to display the Select Label dialog box. For more information, see Label Rules in Drawings by Rule.
Dimension
Specifies the dimension rule used for the current action. For each object processed by the rule set view style, the software applies the dimensions from all the actions that pass the applied tests. More than one dimension can be added to an object. Select More to display the Select Dimension dialog box. For more information, see Marine Dimension Rules.
