To Specify Annotation for a Plumbing Line Style

A plumbing line style determines how the line displays when it crosses another line. When the elevations of 2 crossing lines are different, then the crossing style of the line at the higher elevation is used. When the elevations of the lines are the same, then the software uses the crossing style of the line drawn second.

If the crossing style of the 2 lines is...	And if the priority values of the 2 lines are...	Then...
overlap	the same	the line drawn second displays the overlap.
break	the same	the line drawn first displays the break.
mixed (one is overlap, and the other is break)	the same	the line drawn second determines the crossing style to use. If the style is overlap, the line drawn second displays the overlap. If the style is break, the line drawn first displays the break.
