Saving as a Style

 < Day Day Up > 

If you find yourself using the same settings or combination of filters, you can save the settings.

1.

Select the object with the filters you want to save. Click the plus button and choose Options from the Filters pop-up menu and then choose Save As Style.

2.

Type a name for the style in the New Style dialog box and then click OK.

The name of your saved filter now appears in the Filters pop-up menu. The name you use should be descriptive of the style you are saving. To apply a saved filter to another object, select the object and then choose the saved filter from the Filters pop-up menu.

The filter styles you save are listed on the Styles panel, which is in the Assets panel group. Click the expander arrow on the Assets panel group if it is not open and then click the Styles tab. The style you just added is at the bottom of the panel.

You are not limited to saving filters; you can also save fills, strokes, and text styles. To save a fill and stroke of a selected object, choose New Style from the Styles panel Options menu. Name the style, and the style is added to the panel.

To delete a style, select the icon of the style on the panel and then choose Delete Styles from the Options menu.
