Setting default properties

It is useful to set the default properties of object drawing tools so that when you use the tool the drawn object has the desired properties. This is valuable when many objects will have the same properties.

To set the default properties for an object drawing tool

Double click on the drawing tool or with the tool selected, choose Tools > Current Tool Properties.
Specify default property values in the Properties dialog and click OK.

When you now use the tool, it will draw objects with the specified default properties.

Note: Changing the default properties of an object drawing tool does not change the properties of such objects already drawn.
