When this is selected, the specified symbol is used to display the intersection object in the drawing.

Custom Marker Style

Specifies the symbol that is used to display the marker for the intersection object. Click one of the five symbols to the left to use as a base symbol. Optionally, click the sixth symbol, the seventh symbol, or both, to superimpose them over the base symbol.

Use AutoCAD Block Symbol For Marker
