I have a lyp file with custom line styles:
<custom-line-style>
<pattern>****....****....**....**..**....</pattern>
<order>1</order>
<name>mydash1</name>
</custom-line-style>
It is loaded by selecting a technology. Every thing works fine (layers , colors, pattern), but custom line styles are not loaded. When I load the lyp-file again by "Load Layer Properties" from the file menu, then the line styles are available in the Layer Toolbox and assigned to appropriate layers.
