Give this look to other marks

Select one mark, choose this, then click other marks: each takes its colour, line weight, pattern, fill and size, wherever it can have them.

Why you would use it

Make a run of marks look the same without opening a style for each, or put a mark right by copying one that’s already right.

For example

What to do

1. Select the mark whose look you want.
2. Choose Give this look to other marks, from the Style menu or the command palette.
3. Click each mark that should match. Escape stops.

Going further

Only the look moves: never the place, the words, the scale, the layer or the take-off group, so no quantity changes. A setting the clicked mark can’t have (a line weight on a count, scallops on an arrow) is left out, and if there’s nothing in common it says so. Each click is one undo step, and a locked mark is left alone and says why.
