Managing default object properties
The default object properties in CorelDRAW control the appearance of text and graphic objects in the active document. For example, when
you install CorelDRAW for the first time, the default properties for graphic objects determine that each new graphic object has a black
outline and no fill.
You can modify the default properties of the following types of objects: artistic media, artistic text, callout, dimension, graphic, and
paragraph text. When you modify the defaults, CorelDRAW automatically saves these changes to the current document. If you want to use
the custom settings in subsequent documents that you create, you can set them as the new document defaults.
You can specify which object styles, style sets, color styles, or default object properties in the active drawing are set as the new document
defaults.
