Setting Line Attributes during Custom Configuration:

  1. On the RTSG toolbar, click Configuration Manager, or use Setup » Configuration Manager.

  1. Choose a custom configuration. To change a default configuration, first select the configuration, click Copy, and then rename the Configuration.

  2. Click Edit.

  3. In the main channel list, select a channel as indicated in the image below. The Line Attributes box should now be visible.

  4. Use the drop-down menu choices to change the Line Attributes as needed. If you are printing in black and white, it may be useful to set a double-thick width, patterned line to distinguish between other items in the track.
