Setting the default property values

All objects that you create are based on the default property values, which include outline style and fill color. You can change the properties for a selected object, but the default property values are applied automatically when you draw a new object.

There are several ways to change the default property values.

To change the default property values

To	Do the following
Set the default property values to be the same as the selected object	Click the Keep settings button on the property bar.
Set the default property values when nothing is selected	Change a property on a property bar, color palette, dialog box, or docker. For example, in the Property manager docker, click the Fountain fill button to have all future objects have the fountain fill you created. You can also click a color on the color palette to change the default fill color, or right-click a color to change the default outline color.
Set the default fill color by dragging	Drag a color from the color palette, and drop it on a blank area in the drawing window.

You can also click Tools Save settings as default to save the current settings, or you can access the Options dialog box to set specific settings.
