Multi-line styles list box

Lists the multi-lines in the active multi-line definition. To modify the attributes of a multi-line, you must first select it.

A multi-line can have up to 16 component lines. For each line, the Offset is listed along with line Attributes that override MicroStation's active settings. When placing a multi-line, the active values are used.

Right clicking in the Multi-line style list box brings up a pop-up menu containing Activate, Copy, Rename, Delete, Reset and Move Element.

Fill Color

If on, the entire area between the outermost component lines of the multi-line is filled with the Color chosen with the controls that are enabled when Fill is on. These controls are analogous to those for setting the Active Color in the Element Attributes dialog box, which is opened by choosing Attributes from the Element menu.
