When defining Styles for AVEVA™ Industrial Graphics objects, you can configure style overrides for the visual elements of symbols. This allows you to standardize the appearance of the symbols included in a project.

To configure style overrides for elements styles:

1. In the Standards activity, select Styles.

2. On the Styles Configuration dialog, select Edit. The Configure Styles dialog will appear.

3. Select the Element Styles tab.

   

4. In the Element Style Overrides panel, select the element style you would like to modify.

   If you select a user-defined style, you can double click on it to rename it, or right-click and select Rename.

   The check marks in the Element Style Override panel indicate if an element already has an override configured for it. The columns represent the following:

   • Ts — text

   • Fs — fill

   • Ls — line

   • Ol — outline.

5. To view or edit the style override settings for the selected element, click on the corresponding tabs in the section to the right of the dialog.

   • Text (Ts) tab — allows you to define a Font Override, a Font Color Override or Blink settings for the text that is used.

   • Fill (Fs) tab — allows you to define a Fill Override or Blink settings for the fill that is used.

   • Line (Ls) tab — allows you to define a Line Pattern Override, Line Weight Override, Line Color Override or Blink settings for the line that is used.

   • Outline (Ol) tab — allows you to select to Show Outline, and then define a Line Pattern, Line Weight, or Blink settings for the outline.

     The Preview panel will display the outcome of the current configuration for the selected element.

6. If required, select the Reset to Default button to return the selected element to its default state.

7. Click OK to close the Configure Styles dialog.

   Note: If the Industrial Graphics Editor is currently open, style configuration changes will not appear until after the editor has been restarted.
