predick Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Have you meant it to be like this? It's always turn text to be Arial 12px. So I try to modify the default to be the same as store version(1.4.2) but I cannot understand the 'Synchronise default from selection' tool, how it work? Please help me.

Staff Chris B Posted September 6, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi predick, What are you expecting to happen? What was happening before that is different now? Comparing beta to the MAS version I can't see the difference.The synchronise default buttons allows you to grab the style from an existing object and make it the default for any new objects you make. predick 1 How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predick Posted September 6, 2016 Author Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hi Chris B, The difference happens only when you work with text. please try my file. MAS version seem to clear only style. Current Bata version always turn text to be Arial 12px. test_text2.afdesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Revert defaults did not work well if you used it with a text object selected in 1.4.2. It would ignore text formatting, and apply the shape defaults so you'd get grey text. In 1.5 it resets all of the text formatting to the default object defaults. You can change the default object defaults by changing the document defaults and then using Edit > Defaults > Save. For example, pick the Art text tool, change the pointsize to 24pt, then use Edit > Defaults > Save. This will make 24pt the default for Art text in new documents, and also for the Revert Defaults button in the toolbar and for Edit > Defaults > Revert. This change also affects new Object Styles. It should make Object Styles more useful with text. And of course we now have Text Styles, which are another way of (re)setting text attributes. Synchronise default from selection updates the document's defaults for new objects, but not the default object defaults. If you use it on text, it will mean the next text you create will get the same attributes as the text you synchronised from, but it won't affect the defaults for new documents unless you also use Edit > Defaults > Save. predick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
predick Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Wow! Thanks Dave, The modifiable and saveable defaults are very hidden useful features. Thank you for the very clearly explanation, also. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
