document or open a new document.
Choose File > Revert, and then click Revert in the warning box. You cannot undo
this action.
You can use the appropriate inspector to change the default fill, stroke, and text
attributes for a FreeHand document by making the change with no objects in the
document selected. For example, if you have no objects selected and you change
the stroke width to 4 points, new paths will have a 4-point stroke.
Editing an object does not change the default attributes. Using the previous
example, if you draw an object and change its stroke to 2 points, new paths will
still have a 4-point stroke. You can change that behavior in the Object Preferences
panel, so that editing an object changes the default attributes.
Choose Edit > Select > None or press Tab to deselect all objects in your document.

Choose Window > Inspectors and choose the appropriate inspector for the
2
attributes you want to change. For example, choose Window > Inspectors > Fill
to change the default fill attributes.
Make your changes to the default attributes. New objects in this document will

use the new attributes.
Choose Edit > Preferences. Click Object.

Select the Changing Object Changes Defaults option to have changes to an

object modify the default attributes.
