To Create a Style From an Object

Use this procedure to create a new style for an object by copying and modifying its current style. This method lets you change style properties for the selected object without affecting other objects that use the same style. The new style can then be assigned to other objects as needed. This functionality can save you time if you need to create many styles, or if you need to create templates or styles draw

1. In the drawing area, select an object with the style you want to copy.
2. Click <Object> tab General panelCopy Style.
3. On the General tab of the <object type> Style Properties dialog box, enter a name for the new style, or accept the default, which is the original style name suffixed with an incremental number in parentheses.
4. Change other properties of the new style as desired.
5. Click OK.

   The new style has been assigned to the object. You can access the new style in the Style Manager under the appropriate object style type.
