Defining the Layer, Color and Linetype of a Material Definition
Use this procedure to define the layer, color, and linetype of the material
components. For detailed descriptions of the individual material components,
see Material Components and Display Properties on page 884.
NOTE If you turn off a display component in the material definition, object
components assigned that material definition do not display in the drawing. For
example, if you turn off the Linework component in a material definition, and
assign that definition to a door frame component, the door frame does not display
in plan views.
