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.
