Message: Setting a Current Attribute
Cause
This message is displayed when you apply an attribute, such as a fill or a line-width, when no suitable object is selected. For example, trying to apply a fill to a blank page, or trying to apply a bold-text attribute to an ellipse. This action changes the current attributes.
What Can I Do?
Click
the Set button to make the attribute
current (the default for all objects subsequently created). For example,
if a line-width of 8 pt is made the current attribute, all the lines you
later draw initially have a width of 8 pt. Of course, you can still alter
a line's attributes to be something different.
Click the Quiet
button to set the attribute current, and also suppress future prompts
when setting a new current attribute. This button is useful when setting
a number of current attributes in quick succession.
Clicking the Cancel
button prevents the current attribute being set.
