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.
