“Lines” Tab
Line thickness:
Thick lines. Defines the thickness of the main solid
graphic line (CONTINUOUS).
Other lines. Defines the thickness of all the rest of
graphic lines and detailing elements (the lines of
tolerances, roughnesses, leader notes and
dimensions).
Line style. This group contains the following parameters:
Scale factor for dashed lines. Defines the scale factor
for dashed lines with respect to the dash size
described in the file of line types (TCAD.LIN). Does
not affect the display of solid lines. The file format is
the same as the format of the AutoCAD line
description file.
Arrow (end) size. Defines the size of arrows (ends, tips)
of the dimension leader and witness lines and graphic lines. Any desired size can be set by the user.
Line thickness representation. This parameter defines the graphic line appearance
on the screen. The parameter can be selected from the list:
Not more than 3 pixels. The graphic lines will be displayed no more than three
pixels thick. This parameter is relevant to the lines whose line thickness is greater
than three pixels.
Actual thickness. All graphic lines will be displayed as thick as actually are. The actual line thickness
is defined by the “Line thickness” item on this tab.
One pixel. All graphic lines will be displayed one pixel thick.
Remove hidden lines. If set, the hidden lines will be removed from display. These are the lines behind the
fragments with hidden line removal contours. The lines will be removed according to the fragment
priorities.

Fast text mode (draw as rectangles). If set, all text are displayed as rectangles of the text size. Meanwhile,
the text itself will not be displayed. This setting helps speed up display of large drawings.
Construction drawn last. If set, the construction elements will be drawn last upon redraws (see the diagram
on the left). Otherwise, they are drawn first (right) and may be hidden by other system elements (fills,
graphic lines, etc.).
