Note: Set a value for the Split Top and Split Bottom dimensions before specifying their line properties.

Graphics Style

Specifies the graphical appearance of the PLC module. Styles 1-5 are predefined, styles 6-9 may be user defined. Select a style number - a sample portion of a PLC module displays.

There are about two dozen symbols (with a file name "HP?*.dwg" where "?" is the style number) associated with each style. They are located in \Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Acade {version}\libs\{library}\.

To create a style, copy symbols of an existing to one of the unused style numbers (6-9) and edit each library symbol.

Module Box Dimensions for Selected Style

Sets the right, left, top, and bottom offsets for the rectangle that surrounds the module. The optional Split Top and Split Bottom specify the offsets for a split module where Split Top specifies the offset for the top of a split module and Split Bottom specifies the offset for the bottom of the split module. If left blank, the rectangle Top and Bottom values are used.

Line Properties

Sets the properties for the lines that make up the box. You can set the color and linetype using the properties fields. To predefine the color, enter "COLOR colorname" into the box. For linetype, enter "LTYPE linetypename" in the box.
