Configuring Styles for Panels
Panels are a type of style-based content, which is the collective term for building system objects that use
styles to define their appearance and behavior. When you add a panel to a drawing, you are adding an
instance of a style, and the software establishes a link between the object and the style that defines it. When
you modify the style, the software updates the object accordingly.
