How to change Line end style.

[scubadoo]

Hello,

 

I need to change the line end style to a squared/straight end rather than the rounded one.

I used to know how to do this in Autocad map 3D 2000 but can't in Map 3D 2006. Is it in the plot style manager and if so how do i do it for all plot styles?

 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, But is there a way of doing it globally without having to change each plot style?

i think that's the same thing though, and I have to change the end style for each colour in each plot style. Is there a way to set the line end style for every line in every plot? It would seem strange if you can't.

Okay....I'll play dumb.....what is/are line end styles ????

[scubadoo]

it's just how the end of a line appears, whether it is a butt end, rounded or squared. I think it only matters when you have heavy lineweights, 0.5 or higher, as when it's rounded it protrudes beyond a line that it meets. Does that make sense?

Now I understand perfectly, thanks.....can't help you though.....I use line colours for line weights......

 

You could also try line colours.....and in the .ctb file state there what type of end you want......

Open "Plot Style Table Editor" and select "Form View" tab.

 

Highlight / Select the plot styles in the left window using the Shift or Ctrl key to select a range or individually select the ones to change in mass.. (same as in windows)

 

Then use the arrow buttons in the properties window to select your property style. Done!
