Styles panel

About the Styles panel

Styles are made up of effects, stroke properties, or text attributes and combinations of these. The Styles panel lets you apply these properties easily.

Simply a drag of an .afstyles file onto the Styles panel will add styles in their original category.

You can also save any object's style to the Styles panel for future use.

The panel displays the following:

Category pop-up menu. To display style thumbnails for the chosen category.
Style thumbnails for the current category.
Search—allows you to filter styles in the panel to those with names which conform to the search criteria. Type directly in the text box.

Importing and exporting styles

Styles can be exported to and imported from external files (add-ons) via the Panel Preferences menu. For more information on add-ons, see the About add-ons topic.
