Click the triangle button at the bottom left corner of the palette
to open the manager for the front tab.
The manager stays open as you click other tabs in the palette, and the
display changes to reflect the available options for the tab.
To roll up the manager: When the manager is open, click the
down-facing triangle button at the left of the palette.
Choosing settings to customize
You can use the managers to customize the settings of an objects
stroke, the current stroke, or one of the preset strokes or stroke
attributes. You can also create custom strokes.
To customize an objects stroke, select the object and open
the appropriate manager in the Strokes palette.
To use a preset stroke as the basis for a custom setting,
apply the preset to an object and then select the object. This
displays the settings in the manager on the appropriate tab.
You can also simply choose the preset in the scroll list;
however, this also changes the current stroke or the stroke
of any selected objects.
To apply custom settings to objects
You can apply custom settings from the Strokes palette to an object
in two ways:
Select one or more objects before you begin adjusting the
settings in the manager. To apply the settings to the selected
objects, click Apply.
If you customize the settings before selecting any objects,
you can apply the settings to objects by dragging from the
sample window at the bottom of the palette to an object.

Important
If you adjust the settings in a
configuration manager, and
then select an object, the set-
tings will change to reflect the
objects settings. If you dont
want to lose custom settings
when no objects are selected,
add them to the palette, or
apply them to an object; see
Adding custom settings to the
palette, next.
