Your library and sets

Organize line styles into sets, one per .blx file, and copy ready-made styles from the Standard library.

Your library is the whole scheme. It holds one or more sets. A set is what Revu imports as one line style set, and it downloads as one .blx file.

The Standard library is different: a read-only collection of common line styles that comes with the tool. You copy from it into your sets.

Pick a set #

Choose a set from the Set menu in the toolbar. The rail's Set tab lists its line styles.

Manage sets #

Click ⋯ next to the Set menu:

New set…: name it. The name is the set name Revu shows after import.
Rename…: also renames the set in Revu.
Set note…: a note kept in the library only, not written to the .blx.
Duplicate set
Delete set…: deletes the set and its line styles, after you confirm. A library always keeps at least one set.

Every change can be undone with Undo in the top bar.

Order the styles #

Revu lists a set's line styles in the order of the Set tab, top to bottom. To change it, drag a style by its grip, or select it and press Alt with the up or down arrow.

Add a line style #

From scratch: click + New line style at the bottom of the Set tab. See Edit a line style.
From the Standard library: see below.

Copy from the Standard library #

Click the Library tab in the rail.
Search, or browse by group: Boundaries & site, Standard CAD, Utilities, Lettered (shape text) and Fences & symbols.
Click + on a style to copy it into the current set. Or drag it onto the Set tab and drop it where you want it in the list.

Click Add all next to a group's name to copy the whole group.

Copies are yours to change. The Standard library itself never changes.

Copy, duplicate or delete a style #

Above the selected style's settings:

Copy to set ▾: copy it into another set. You need a second set first.
Duplicate: a copy in the same set.
Delete: remove it from the set, after you confirm.

Two sets can each have a style with the same name. Each one belongs to its own set.
