Changing the Linetype of an Object
You have three choices for changing the linetype of an object. You can
-
Reassign the object to another layer with a different linetype. If an object's linetype is set to BYLAYER and you reassign the object to a different layer, it will acquire its linetype from
the new layer.
-
Change the linetype assigned to the layer that the object is on. If an object's linetype is set to BYLAYER, it will acquire the linetype of its layer. When you change the linetype assigned to
a layer, all objects on that layer with a BYLAYER linetype will be updated automatically.
-
Specify a linetype for an object to override the layer's linetype. You can specify the linetype of each object explicitly. If you want to override the layer-determined linetype of an object
with a different one, change an existing object's linetype from BYLAYER to a specific linetype such as DASHED.
If you want to set a specific linetype for all subsequently created objects, change the current linetype setting on the Object Properties toolbar from BYLAYER to a specific linetype.
