3 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 object’s stroke, the current stroke, or one of the preset strokes or stroke attributes. You can also create custom strokes. •   To customize an object’s 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. Manager button Important If you adjust the settings in a configuration manager, and then select an object, the set- tings will change to reflect the object’s settings. If you don’t 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.
