Line Type	The line type in the source file. When imported, all objects in this line type will be associated with the EngView style in Style column.
Aux Line Type	(Read-only) Displays the auxiliary linetype for the respective association. During import, all objects with auxiliary line types in the range are associated with the EngView style in the respective row.
Style	The EngView style that the objects will be associated with. For details, see (Style) below.

Edit	Opens a dialog box in which you can edit a selected association rule.

Line Type	Sets the line type range for a new association. During import, all objects whose line types are in the range are associated with the EngView style specified in Associate With.
Aux Line Type	Sets the auxiliary line type range for a new association. During import, all objects whose auxiliary line types are in the range are associated with the EngView style specified in Associate With.
Line thickness	Sets the thickness range for the selected association. During import, all objects whose widths are in the range are associated with the EngView style specified in Associate With.
Ignore zero-length objects	If the files being imported contain objects whose lengths are zero, EngView does not associate them with any EngView styles. The combinations that follow provide guidance to the use of the Existing child style by width and New project-level child style check boxes, because of their related behavior.

Associate With	The EngView style with which EngView will associate the imported objects. Click the drop-down to select a style.
Match to same line thickness child style (if found)	EngView (1) associates the objects that fall within the range in Line type with existing child styles of the style in Associate With that have the same widths, and (2) imports them in these child styles. If no such child styles exist, the objects are not imported. TIP: To import these objects in child styles of the style in Associate With, select the next check box.
Create project-level child styles (by line thicknesses)	EngView creates child styles of the style in Associate With. These styles have the same widths as the objects within the range in Line type. Then EngView imports the DDES objects in these new styles. The created child styles apply only to the current project.
