Apply styles and style sets

To apply a style or 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 .

Styles simplify the task of formatting objects by saving time and ensuring a consistent look.
