To change the style of a line:

  1. Do one of the following to display the Line Style dialog box:
    • To change the style of one line, right-click on the region and choose Make Selection Editable. From the STYLE tab, toggle the Apply Style command on and choose Line Style from the Style group.
    • To change the style of all lines in the same layer, first make the layer editable in the Layers or Explorer windows. Double-click the layer to open the Layer Properties dialog box. On the Layer Display tab click the Style Override swatch.


      This dialog box includes a Preview button when launched from the Line Style command on the STYLE tab.

  2. Make the line style changes you want to see in your map window in this dialog box and click OK to save them.
    • Style - Select the new line style from the drop-down list.
    • Color - Choose a color for the line from this drop-down list. The Sample box displays the pattern using the color and line style you select.
    • Width (in Pixels and Points) - Choose the line width from one of these drop-down lists. In the Pixels field, select a width of the line in pixels. In the Points field, select a point size from the drop-down list, or enter a point size.
    • Interleaved - If you select a line style that uses multiple passes to create it, MapInfo Pro enables the Interleaved check box. Keep in mind these notes:

      The Interleaved option is not enabled for solid lines

      The Interleaved option is not activated for borders

      The Interleaved option is not appropriate for all multiple pass lines
