Multiline styles provide a way for you to change various settings that control the appearance of multilines. You can then save those settings for reuse. If you don’t define a multiline style before creating multilines, the program uses the Standard multiline style, which stores the default multiline settings.
If you modify a multiline style, all multilines entities that are assigned that style will be updated.
