Application Notes

Only those line types with code values will be set using this GX, so if you just want to set "Tie" lines, for instance, only the code for "T: Tie Lines" needs to be defined.

The line type code channel can be either string type or numeric; you could use "Tie" for a code, or a number (e.g. 2).

Only the first non-dummy (non-blank) value in the line type channel for any given line is used. If no value is defined in the line type channel for a given line, or if no matches with the defined line types are found, then no change occurs for that line. Subsequent values in the channel for any given line are ignored.
