Synchronize
Defaults
Off Defaults are changed by manually updating
to the current item selection, and apply until
they are manually updated again.
Normally, fill and line colours, line styles, and line/brush transparency will adopt
the former approach. Brush strokes take a line colour, so they also synchronize
to the currently set colour. Text attributes and filter effect defaults adopt the
latter approach.
To see what the current defaults are for a particular object type,
simply create a new object of that type.
Although you can switch Synchronize Defaults on or off globally, it is also
possible to independently switch on or off attributes which synchronize with, or
update to, the currently selected object.
To change which attributes synchronize:
1. Choose Synchronization Settings... from the Defaults flyout
(Standard toolbar) to optionally select attributes (e.g., fill colour, line
colour, transparency, etc) from which new defaults will be made.
2. Check or uncheck the check boxes to switch on or off the
synchronization of defaults for that attribute.
