Setting Default Object Attributes

Settings in the Attributes palette control both default and individual object attributes. These attributes are automatically applied to newly-drawn objects unless a class attribute is assigned (see Setting Class Properties and The Attributes Palette for more information).

Certain default attributes can be adjusted to accommodate office standards.

 

Markers (Line endpoint styles)	Color palette(s)	Dash style
Line thickness	Patterns

Colors, dash style, and patterns are saved in the current drawing or in a template. Markers and line thickness are global settings and apply to all VectorWorks drawings.

Gradient and image fills are provided as default resources and can also be defined in the Resource Browser. See VectorWorks Fundamentals Default Resources, Gradient Attributes and Image Attributes.
