Customizing strokes Each tab in the Strokes palette has a manager, an area that can be rolled down at the bottom of the palette to reveal options for custom- izing strokes. You can use the managers to •   display the strokes settings of selected objects •   create custom pen, parallel, and neon strokes •   create custom arrowheads and dash sequences •   apply custom settings to objects or the current stroke •   store custom strokes as presets in the palette •   save preset strokes in files on disk •   load preset strokes that have been saved in disk files To use the managers You must tear off the Strokes palette from the Toolbox to use the managers, delete presets from the palette, and load, save, or delete strokes saved to disk. 1 To open the Strokes palette, press the Strokes icon and drag the palette away from the Toolbox. The Strokes palette opens as a floating palette. You can drag the pal- ette by its title bar to move it. 2 Click the tab you want to use to bring it to the front, if neces- sary.
