Assigning Line Styles
You can change line style directly from the digitizing tablet or from the key board.
You can also change the line style from other devices by accessing the menu
system. When the keyboard is installed, you can only access the menu system from
the keyboard.
When a line style is selected from a marking device, the CPN-5000 keeps track of
the style and the device. The device will draw with that style until a different style
is selected. This allows each marking device to have its own line style.
From the Digitizing Tablet
1. Click the pen tip on the line style icon on the tablet template.
LINE STYLE
Figure 4-1: Line Style pop-up
The Line Style pop-up appears on the screen.
2. Select the line style you wish to draw with.
It includes various thicknesses of plain lines, lines with shadows, and highlight
lines. The highlight lines available on the pop-up are yellow and green. A third
color, pink, can be obtained by touching the Change Color key on the
keyboard, after you select a highlight line in the pop-up.
3. The pop-up disappears.
All lines drawn from this point on will appear in the newly selected line width
and style.
From the Keyboard
1. Activate the Line Style command.
A small sample of the active line style will appear briefly in the lower-right
hand corner of the screen.
