Creation of object by sample |
Scroll |
One of the ways of creation of a new graphic object is creation of an object with the properties of an already existing sample object. At the same time, properties of the sample object are copied into the new object. Samples may be geometrical objects (except the outlines and arcs of ellipses), designations and dimensions. The set of properties to copy depends on the sample object type.
To create an object similar to the existing one, use the Object by Template 
command.
Step-by-step instructions
After running the command, the cursor will change its shape 
.
1.Point to a sample object for copying of properties. To do that, place the cursor on the object. When the selected object is highlighted, left-click it.
After that, the command appropriate to the type of the initial object will run.
2.Set the parameters for the new object.
3.Complete the process of object creation.

If, prior to invoking the Object by instance command, the pattern object was already selected, then after invoking the command there immediately a command matching the type of the pattern object. |
Examples of using the Object by instance command:
•In the document, there is a fill inside a circle. Inside the other outline, it is possible to create a fill with the same properties (type, color, transparency, etc.), as in the existing.
•A line is specified as the sample, and the Segment command is started. The line style of the new segment will be same, as in the sample line.
