Style Library
The Style Library (Edit - Style Library) stores reusable styles for graphic objects — think colors, line types, fill patterns, and more. Instead of recreating the same look every time, just save it once and apply it anywhere.
How Styles Are Displayed
Styles appear differently depending on what they apply to:
- Lines — for lines and wires.
- Ellipses — for filled objects (rectangles, ellipses, polygons, etc.).
Style Categories
The Style Library has two sections:
Temporary Styles
Automatically keeps your last 20 used styles — no effort required on your part.
Permanent Styles
Your curated collection of styles you want to keep long-term.
Adding a Style to the Library
Whenever you copy a style, it's automatically added to Temporary Styles.
Moving Styles Between Categories
Found a temporary style you want to keep? Drag it to the Permanent Styles tab. To demote a permanent style, drag it back to Temporary Styles.
Applying a Style
- Select the target object in your drawing.
- Open
Edit-Style Library. - Pick a style (temporary or permanent).
- Click
Apply to Selected Objectsor double-click the style.
Auto-Applying Styles to Wires
You can make styles apply automatically based on wire names. For example, if you create a style named "PEN," every wire named "PEN" gets that style automatically.
Steps:
- In the
Permanent Stylestab, name your wire style to match the wire name. - Draw a wire and assign the matching name in the Properties panel.
The style applies automatically — no manual work needed.
Style Storage
Styles are stored in your Symbol Library as:
_CONF\styles\temp.xml_CONF\styles\perm.xml
