To Edit Linework in a 2D Section

Use this procedure to edit individual lines in a 2D section by assigning them to display components in the section.

You can assign selected linework to fixed display components that determine the display of every section that you generate, or you can assign linework to display components that you have defined. After you assign linework to display components, you can change the display properties (visibility, color, layer, lineweight, linetype, and linetype scale) to change the display of lines.
