FTA Style File Overview
The FTA Style file stores the styles for the objects that can be inserted in fault trees. It is a singular support file, which means that only one file of this type can exist in the Project. The FTA Style file contains a fixed number of gate and event styles, one connector style, and one label style. At the top of the file, Style type provides for selecting the type of object for which to view styles.
While you can modify the visual properties of existing gate and event styles and the existing connector style, you cannot insert new figure and connector styles. However, you can insert any number of new label styles.
The following table describes the two pane in the FTA Style file.
