The Line Type Name alias File

It is possible for the user to replace the system name of any line type with a name of his own ("alias" name). This name will then be used whenever the line type is presented or user-supplied. Such alias names should be defined in a simple "line type name translation" file connected to the environment variable SB_LINETYPE_ALIAS.

The translation of a particular line type name is given by one line in the file. Such a line should then consist of the system-name of the line type, followed by a separating colon (:) and the user (alias) name. Comments starting with "//" will be ignored. The order of the lines are irrelevant.

Below, an example of an alias file:
