Changing the stroke shape of lines
The Freehand & Brush Tool and Line Gallery let you change the contour (shape) of lines and the outlines of shapes.
To change the stroke
shape using the Freehand & Brush Tool
This is often the easier method as the start of the list shows the most recently used stroke shapes.
1. Select the Freehand & Brush Tool.
2. If necessary click on the line to select it
3. Choose from the Select stroke list.
To change the stroke
shape using the Line Gallery
1. Select the line or shape (see Selecting objects).
2. From the Utilities menu, choose Line Gallery.
3. Scroll in the gallery to the Stroke Shapes section.
4. Double click on a shape.
Note:
Applying a stroke shape removes
any arrowhead/tail or dash pattern already applied to the line.
Tip
You can also drag-and-drop a stroke
shape from the gallery onto any line or shape (selected or unselected).
You can also change the appearance
of the line using brush strokes. (For example to create an air brush effect.)
