Setting Default Attributes

You can set default attributes for vector objects so that each time you create a new object, it uses the same attributes. For example, if you often draw objects with a standard 3pt blue pen stroke, you can set the default attributes for objects to use those settings.

The following types of objects use the default attributes:

• Rectangle
• Oval
• Cube

• EasyShapes
• Markup
• Dimensioning (excluding Area and Perimeter)

To Set the Default Attributes:

1. Create a vector object that has the attributes you want to use as the default attributes.
2. Select the object.
3. Do one of the following:
   • Select Object | Set Default Attributes.
   • Right-click and select Set Default Attributes from the context menu.
   • Click the Set Default Attributes icon in the Toolbar.
