You can change the caps of individual lines without changing their body style.

The lower zone is shown.
Properties is selected in the lower zone toolbar.
If you are in Engrave mode, Graphic Editing is selected in the Engrave toolbox.

Select the lines whose caps you want to change. You can do this in Write mode and Engrave mode.

Note
You must select either only horizontal lines or only vertical lines.
In the Properties panel, activate the following properties, individually or together, in either the Horizontal Lines or Vertical Lines group:
- To change the cap at the start/bottom of the selected lines, activate Start cap.
- To change the cap at the end/top of the selected lines, activate End cap.
- To change the segment start cap of the selected horizontal lines on subsequent systems, activate Continuation cap.
- To change the segment end cap of the selected horizontal lines on previous systems to where the lines end, activate Continuation end cap.
Select the style you want from each menu.

The corresponding caps of the selected lines are changed.

Note

This does not affect the body style of the selected lines.
You can also create custom lines with the line bodies, caps, and annotations you want by default.
