Operation Manual

Lines, Curves, and Shapes 87
The Styles tab also lets you store your own graphic styles in a My Styles section if
you would like to reuse them—the style is made available in any DrawPlus
document. You can add and delete your items within each category, with the
option of naming elements to facilitate rapid retrieval.
You can create your own folders and categories from the Style tab's
Tab Menu by selecting Manager... from the menu.
To apply a graphic style to one or more objects:
1. Display the Styles tab.
2. Expand the drop-down
menu to select a named
style category (e.g.,
Instant Effects), then
pick a subcategory by
scrolling the lower
window.
3. Preview available styles as
thumbnails (cog shapes are
shown by default) in the
window.
4. Click a style thumbnail to apply it to the selected object(s).
Saving custom graphic styles
Once you've come up with a set of attributes that you like—properties for fill,
line, text, and 2D/3D effects, and so on—you can save this cluster of attributes as
a named graphic style. DrawPlus saves graphic styles to the Styles tab (My Styles
folder by default), which can be subsequently applied to other newly drawn
objects.
