Style mapping applies standard or custom style formats to lines, hatches, fonts, fills, dimensions, annotations, and views as you place objects that use these styles in the document. The element-to-style mapping table on the Dimension Style tab of the Options dialog box allows you to choose which style to map to which element, or it allows you to assign one style to all elements.
When the Use Dimension Style Mapping option is set on the Dimension Style tab, then the Dimension Style Mapping option 
is also set by default on the relevant command bars and dialog boxes used to place individual elements. You can override the mapped style for an individual element by clearing this option on the command bar.

New and modified style formatting options vary widely between the type of element. Some of the style formatting options include the following:
Lines (e.g., style, color, width)
Units (e.g., inch, mm)
Spacing (e.g., in a pattern)
Delimiters (e.g., period or comma)
Terminators (e.g., arrow, circle, dot)
Round-off
