Global Properties

The properties of all visible objects of a chosen type can be changed with Global Properties.

Global Properties is not used for Stops, and has no effect on Color Changes.

Note: To change the properties of several objects of the same type, Command–click or Shift–click the objects in the FilmStrip to select them, then Control–click and choose Properties.

Change Object Settings with Global Properties
  1. Use the Control Panel to hide any objects you do not wish to affect. For example, hide objects by color, or use the Filters.

  2. Select an object of the desired type.

  3. Control–click in the FilmStrip or on the work area and select Global Properties from the menu.
    The properties dialog for the object appears, with the current settings taken from the selected object.

  4. Adjust the properties as desired.

  5. Click OK.

All the settings in the dialog are applied to all visible objects of the same type.

When you click OK, the settings are applied globally even if you did not change anything. For example, if you have a fill area that already has the desired settings, select the fill area then select Global Properties and click OK to replicate the settings on all visible fill areas.

Note: Global Properties is only available if a single object is selected.
