HumbleChief Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 It seems like the 'Override Line Style' button behaves like an on/off button? Is that true? Is that intended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskan_Son Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 With those check-boxes you are choosing to override the default line settings which are otherwise controlled by the various object and layer settings. Notice that you can't select an Override Color, an Override Style, or an Override Weight until you check the box that says you want to do so. In other words, you are choosing whether you want to leave it all as is or override with a single new setting that you're about to select. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Michael, but wouldn't that imply that the original settings, that are not being overridden would affect the drawing according to those settings? IOW if I choose to "leave it all as is" wouldn't those selected settings show on the drawing "as is"? Nothing seems to show until I click the Override Style button. If I don't click that button, and want the style to remain un-overridden, nothing shows. An example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, those checkboxes are "on/off buttons." As you can see when you first open the camera DBX, there is no effect applied to the below grade lines until you "turn on" the feature by checking the box(es). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "style" that is being "un-overridden" by not checking the boxes, is the style of the object in its natural state, which is defined by layer and object settings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tundra_dweller Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 Larry, I think you're misinterpreting the "Override Line Style" dialog. What I believe that checkbox means is if you check it you will be overriding the current layer/object style setting with whatever line style is shown at the "Override Line Style" checkbox. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
