In a drawing that shows an entity in two positions, one drawn with a solid line and the other with a dotted line, which is called ACTIVE and which PASSIVE? Is this a rule, an established way of speaking or I'm trying to translate something unique to one author?

Dotted is where it isn't, but where it could be.
There are three roads to ruin; women, gambling and technicians. The most pleasant is with women, the quickest is with gambling, but the surest is with technicians. Georges Pompidou

Roger that. But is there a naming convention, ACTIVE is solid and PASSIVE is dotted, or the other way around? The drawing has this explanation below, ACTIVE means this and PASSIVE means that, I'm not sure how to link it to the dotted and solid lines.
