    Legacy Line

    Have managed to create new legacy lines that work fine for my plumbing. However how do you change the thickness of the line and its colour in the (.lin) file. Is it even possible.

    Why would you need to change those in the .lin file? Just change that in layers?

    Was just wondering if you could. Such as add letter (a= red).

    You'd be better off not modifying legacyLineStyles.dat, since, as the name implies, it is used when opening a version 10 or earlier plan. You can get surprising results when opening a plan from another computer.

    You can create a new text file with line styles, and them import them from the "File" menu.

    However, to answer your question, you can neither specify thinkness nor color in the line style definition.
