120 Working with Objects
Transforms are a quick way to generate elements for a stopframe
animation sequence involving rotation or directional changes (see
Animation tips and tricks in DrawPlus Help).
Making "in-between" copies of two objects
Blending is yet another useful way of making multiple copies by in-betweening
two different objects for a "morphing" effect. For details, see Creating blends on
p. 200.
Copying an object's formatting
Format Painter is used to copy one object’s line and fill properties directly to
another object, including between line/shape and text objects.
To apply one object's formatting to another:
1. Select the object whose formatting you wish to copy.
2. Click Format Painter on the Standard toolbar. When you click
the button, the selected object's formatting is "picked up".
3. Click another object to apply the first object's formatting to it. The
second object becomes selected.
4. To select another object without pasting the formatting, click it with
the Shift key down.
5. To cancel Format Painter mode, press Esc, click on a blank area, or
choose any tool button.
Additional text properties (font, style, and so on) are copied, as well
as line and fill properties, when copying formatting from one text
object to another.
