The object rendering is controlled by setting up Renderstyles in the Renderstyle Library area and assigning them to layers in the Layers area of the settings file.

A Renderstyle is a group of rendering controls for objects. In a Renderstyle, you can set rendering parameters such as:

• fill color
• stroke color
• screen percentage
• screen angle
• line width
• dash pattern

Individual control is provided for the basic types of object:

• text, Mtext
• closed polylines, open polylines and splines
• circle ( & ellipse)
• arc
• solid
• trace
• line
• point.
• Plus...
• 3D face
• Proxy entities

The Renderstyle information is saved in a Library file.  Many different Renderstyles can be set up within Cad Publisher. Each individual Renderstyle can have its own unique name.

The useful thing about Renderstyles is that you can assign any Renderstyle to any drawing layer. Changing the appearance of the rendered output can be as simple as re-assigning Renderstyles to layers.
