Format Painter

Copy one element's style and paint it onto other elements.

The Format Painter mode copies the look of one element (its colours, line, and text styling) and applies it to others, so a set of shapes can share a consistent style without setting each one by hand. Choose it from the mode picker at the top of the floating palette.

How to use it

Pick the Format Painter mode from the palette.
Click a source element to copy its look.
Click each element you want to apply that style to.

Every element you click takes on the copied colours, line, and text styling.
