Joining, extending and closing open paths
You can click an endpoint of an existing shape and it selects that point and goes into
regular draw mode, so the next click adds a new point and a segment to the selected
line. You can add as many segments as you need.
Double-click and endpoint to finish the line as an open path.
Click an opposite endpoint to close the path (just like during the original draw
operation).
While drawing, if you click the endpoint of another open path then the path being
drawn and the path just clicked become joined. Using these techniques together, you
can begin to extend one path, and end up joining it with another.
Copying attributes from one line to another
To copy all of the attributes applied to a line to a different line:
1
Select the Item Format Painter tool on the Tool palette.
2
Select the line whose attributes you want to copy to "fill" the eyedropper .
To add other attributes to the tool, hold down the Shift key as you select the line. The
following dialog displays:
Make any changes you want to the line attributes and click OK. The new attributes are added
to the Item Form Painter tool, but are not applied to the selected line
