Styles

Styles let you copy the visual appearance of one object — color, line type, fill — and apply it to others. No need to manually recreate the same look every time.

Copying Styles

There are two ways to copy a style from one object to another:

Method 1

1. Right-click the source object and choose Copy Style.
2. Right-click the target object and choose Paste Style.
3. To apply the style to multiple objects at once, select them all first, then use Edit - Paste Style.

Method 2

1. Select the source object.
2. Click the toolbar icon: .
3. Click the target object. To apply to multiple objects, hold Ctrl while clicking each one.

Style Library

The Edit - Style Library stores your frequently used styles for graphical objects, so you can reuse them anytime.

Categories

Styles are displayed as:

• Lines: For lines and wires.
• Ellipses: For filled objects (rectangles, ellipses, polygons).

Temporary Styles

Automatically keeps your last 20 used styles.

Permanent Styles

Your curated collection of styles you want to keep long-term.

Adding and Managing Styles

Copying a style automatically adds it to Temporary Styles.

Want to keep a style permanently? Drag it to the Permanent Styles tab. To remove a permanent style, drag it back to Temporary Styles.

Applying Styles

1. Select the target object.
2. Open Edit - Style Library.
3. Pick a style (temporary or permanent).
4. Click Apply to Selected Objects or double-click the style.

Automatic Style Assignment for Wires

Styles can auto-apply to wires based on their names. For example, create a permanent style named "PEN" and every wire you name "PEN" gets that style automatically.

1. In the Permanent Styles tab, name the style to match the wire name.
2. Draw a wire and assign the name in the Properties panel.

Style Storage

Styles are stored in the Symbol Library under:

• _CONF\styles\temp.xml
• _CONF\styles\perm.xml
