An Annotation Change Style (ACSTYL) defines the appearance of changed annotation elements (Label, Dimension or 2D Primitives) specified by an ACRULE that references it. Each ACSTYL defines three styles/colours, a font, and two other attributes that will be used to draw changed annotation elements. The three styles/colours are used for drawing text, linear graphics and hatched areas of annotations. All three styles/colours may be set to specific values or to UNCHANGED. The font attribute may be set to a standard font number or to UNCHANGED. If any of these four attributes are set to UNCHANGED, the relevant Label/Dimension/2D Primitives attribute will be used. The two other attributes define whether changed text is to be underlined or enclosed in brackets.

The ACSTYL attributes, with their defaults, are as follows:
