You can use styles to make new drawings conform to your company's standards. For example, the software provides line styles with names such as Normal. You have decided to apply the Normal style to hidden lines. The Normal style has a line type that looks like a dashed line.

Your company standard may require that a hidden line look like a dotted line.

To change the Normal line style to conform to your company's standards, you can follow these steps:

  1. Click Format > Style.

  2. On the Style dialog box, click the line style type in the Style Type box.

  3. In the Styles list box, click the Normal line style.

  4. Click Modify to access the Modify Line Style dialog box.

  5. On the General tab, in the Type box, select the line type that looks like a dotted line.

All the lines that you draw while the Normal style is selected on the ribbon will conform to your company’s standards: hidden lines will appear as dotted lines. You can save the style to a template with Style on the Format menu. This allows you to use the style again in other drawings.
