Chapter 9: Styles and Style Sets | 119your graphics to share the same fill and outline,
create a style set that consists of a fill style and
an outline style.
After you create the styles you want, all you
need to do is select the objects and apply the
respective styles or style sets to format all
objects at the same time. This takes a fraction
of the time you would otherwise need to
format the document manually and also
ensures perfect consistency.
There are different ways of working with styles.
One option (described above) is to define a
style first and then apply it to objects in your
drawings; another option it to create an
object, format it manually, save it as a style,
and then apply the style to other objects. For
example, you can add a heading to your
drawing and experiment with different settings
for font, color, size, and type. When you are
happy with the formatting, you can save the
character attributes as styles or style sets. Then,
you can apply them to all headings in your
document. CorelDRAW offers great flexibility
and different ways of accomplishing tasks so
you can choose the method that best suits your
personality and workflow.
In addition to reducing the time for layout and
formatting, styles help you quickly make
multiple changes to your documents. For
example, if you want to increase the font size
of all subheadings and make them bold, you
don’t need to change every single subheading.
You simply edit the subheading style. Whether
your document contains one page or dozens
of pages, all paragraphs with that style will
change automatically when you change the
style. You can freely and effortlessly try out new
designs.
In CorelDRAW, you can create and apply
outline, fill, paragraph, character, and frame
styles by using the Object styles docker. You
can also modify the default properties of the
following object types: artistic media, artistic
text, callout, dimension, graphic, and
paragraph text. You can customize the defaults
for your current document, or for all new
documents.You create and manage styles and style sets by using the
Object styles docker.Last but not least, styles allow you to achieve
consistent formatting not only in one
document but across multiple documents. Any
styles or style sets that you create are saved
with the current document and can also be
exported to a style sheet for use in other
documents. You can design different style
sheets for different projects. As with other
features in CorelDRAW, you control how styles
work for you. You can easily implement
changes across many documents by simply
changing the style sheet applied to these
documents.
