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.
