Specifying Format for New Sketch Entities

To specify format for new sketch entities:

Click a tool (Line Format toolbar) and select a format from the menu.
Sketch entities of any type (lines, centerlines, circles, and so on).
The entities that you add to the drawing use the specified formats, until you select a different format.

To change the edge color, thickness, or font back to its default setting, right-click an edge and click Reset line font.

Search 'Specifying Format for New Sketch Entities' in the SOLIDWORKS Knowledge Base.
