Use the Vector Line Editor dialog to control the display of lines or activities. If you insert a line and the line should be printed as a solid line from start to end, then check the option System line. This will bring a better quality to line printing.
Edit and/or define the Name, Display, and Formatting of a current Vector Line. Already existing Vector Line Endings can be changed, fitted, or new endings can be redefined completely.
