You can modify the drawing properties of
the building objects (parts, bolts, reinforcement, surface treatment, welds, pour breaks,
pour objects) in an open drawing. For example, you can change the color and how different
kinds of lines are shown, or add hatch patterns in parts and cross sections.
Limitations: You
can change the color of the part center lines in the drawing and view level part
properties. You can change the line type of the part center lines with the advanced
option XS_CENTER_LINE_TYPE.
