Edit or redefine styles



Edit styles to enable or disable specific properties such as fill or stroke. Redefine styles to modify any filters they include.

When you edit or redefine a style, all objects you’ve applied it to update automatically. You can, however, break the link between selected objects and styles. (See Break the link to a style.)

Edit a style

  1. Choose Select > Deselect to deselect any objects on the canvas.

  2. Double-click a style in the Styles panel.

  3. In the Edit Style dialog box, select or deselect attributes.

  4. Click OK to apply the changes to the style.

Redefine a style

  1. On the canvas, select an object that uses the style.

  2. In the Property inspector, modify the applied filters, and then click the Redefine Style button.

Note: When you redefine a style from a group, only the effects are redefined. All the path attributes are ignored.
To quickly replace one style with another within the Current Document styles, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) one to another in the Styles panel.
