Line Styles

User-defined LineStyle & FillStyle elements have a system-generated Style Number that should be unique within the MDB. These attribute values are automatically created upon element creation. However, if a DRAFT database containing a Style World (STYLWL) is added to an MDB that already has a STYLWL it is possible for duplication of numbers to occur.

At Hull & Outfitting 12.0, it is the later of the duplicates (in database order within the MDB) that has precedence when a Style of a given number is used. This is opposite to the case of duplicate names where it has always been the first that has precedence.

At Hull & Outfitting 12.1, this has been changed to ensure consistency of behaviour between duplicate styles and names. When an MDB contains Styles with duplicate Style Numbers, it is the first (in database order within the MDB) that will be used when that Style Number is used to draw graphical elements.
