Set the properties for graphic objects.
Line color

Line style

You can choose from the styles Solid, Dashed or Dotted.

If you drag the slider to the right, the line weight increases, if you drag it to the left, the line weight decreases. You can also enter the weight directly or change it by clicking on the up and down arrows of the spin box.
Fill color

Fill effects: Opens a dialog for you to select the gradient to be used for coloring the item.
Rounding
You can increase or reduce the percentage of the rounding of the corners of rectangles and ellipses. If you enter extreme values, you obtain a different graphic object to the one you placed. For instance, if you enter 0% for the rounding of a circle, you will generate a square, if you specify 100% for the rounding of a rectangle, you will generate an ellipse.
Shaded
Displays selected items with shading.
3-D effect
Displays the item with additional shadows and emphasis to produce a three-dimensional impression. The 3-D effect does not affect elements without a fill color and polygons. The check box is enabled for filled graphic elements.
Use as default
Uses these settings as a basis for all corresponding items you create. The settings are retained until you change them.
If you change settings that can be preset in the options under View/Options, the option button states are modified accordingly.
Preview
Displays the effects of your changes immediately in the model window. If you want your changes to take effect, exit the dialog by clicking on OK.
Reset
Resets all settings to the status they had when the dialog was opened. In other words, all changes you made since opening the dialog are discarded.
Tip
If you selected multiple items that, for example, differ in color, the corresponding color box displays the basic interface color, or the term [Different] is entered. You can select one color for all selected items. In this case, all selected items will be displayed in this color.
