Saving and Loading Type Styles

You can save type styles to files and then load them into other documents. This feature helps maintain consistency between documents, and lets you share type styles with other Canvas X Draw users.

To Save a Type Style to Disk:

  1. Choose Text | Type.
  2. In the Type palette, on the Styles tab, click the drop-down arrow at the bottom of the palette.
  3. Choose Save style...
  4. In the Save As dialog box, type a file name and specify a location to save the file.
  5. Click Save.

To Load a Type Style:

  1. In the Type palette, on the Styles tab, click the drop-down arrow at the bottom of the palette.
  2. Choose Load style...
  3. In the Open dialog box, locate and select the styles file.
  4. Click Open.

Copying Type Styles Between Documents

Another way to transfer type styles from one document to another is to copy text that uses the style and paste the text into a different document. Canvas X Draw transfers the style with the text. When you save the document, Canvas X Draw also stores the transferred style.

A type style based on another style cannot inherit attributes across documents; e.g., Body2 is based on a parent style, Body1, and you copy only Body2 to a new document. Body2 in the new document no longer inherits attributes from Body1, which is still in the original document.

However, if you copy both Body1 and Body2 to a new document, the relationship is preserved, and Body2 will inherit attributes from its parent style.

If you happen to paste a style that already exists in the other document, Canvas X Draw modifies the name of the pasted style to avoid overriding type styles; e.g., a style named “Body 2” could become “Body 2 -2” when pasted in the new document.
