Import a Linear Style - Intergraph Smart Electrical - Help - Hexagon

This procedure shows you how to import a linear style for use in your drawings.

• If you import a new pattern or style that has the same name as a pattern or style that is already listed on the Linear Styles dialog, the new information immediately overwrites the older pattern or style.

• As soon as you import linear patterns or styles, the new information is immediately written into the project styles file. There is no option to save the changes later.

1. Select Options > Item Type Symbology > Linear Patterns.

2. On the Linear Styles dialog, select Import.

3. On the Import Linear Styles From dialog, browse to the .sym file that contains your linear style.

4. Select Open.

5. Select Close on the Linear Styles dialog.

• Any supporting styles referenced by the pattern that you choose to import are also imported.

• When you import a linear pattern or heat tracing style, you must close the Linear Styles dialog and re-open it in order to see the newly imported information.

• You can also import linear styles, which incorporate linear patterns, for heat tracing symbology. The words heat trace must appear in the name of the style in order for Smart Electrical Options Manager to import the style.
