Apply styles and style sets

To apply a style or style set to an object

To apply a line style set to an object


When you apply a style or a style set to an object, the object takes on only the attributes that are defined by the style or style set. For example, if you apply an outline style, the object outline changes while its other attributes stay the same.

You can apply styles and styles sets by using the Object Styles docker and the Properties docker.

In the Properties docker, attributes which are defined by a style appear with a source indicator that is green and has a vertical line in the middle . (The source indicator is the little square next to the attribute name.) If there is no style applied, the source indicator appears blank . If there is an override of the applied style, the source indicator color is orange with a horizontal line in the middle .

In addition, you can apply line (outline) style sets that meet S1000D requirements to curves and other objects. The following line style sets are available: Thick Line, Medium Line, Thin Line, Center Line, and No Line. You can apply these line style sets from the Object Styles docker or by using shortcut keys. When you import curves that have the properties of any of the available line style sets, you can apply the corresponding style set with one click.

The following tables lists the available default line style sets, their properties, and the shortcut key combinations you can use to apply them.

You can also apply a style by clicking a source indicator next to an object property (outline, fill, character, paragraph, or frame) in the Properties docker and choosing a style from the list of styles.

You can also apply a style or style set to a selected object by using any of the following methods:
