Applying appearance attributes to new artwork

You can specify whether you want new objects to inherit appearance attributes or have only basic attributes.

To specify how appearance attributes are applied to new objects:

Do one of the following:

• To apply only a single fill and stroke to new objects, click the New Art Has Basic Appearance button  in the Appearance palette, or select New Art Has Basic Appearance from the palette menu.
• To apply all of the current appearance attributes to new objects, click the New Art Maintains Appearance button  in the Appearance palette, or deselect New Art Has Basic Appearance from the palette menu.
