I know I'm going on a bit now (!), but how about a Format Painter tool, so that you can grab the line colour, size etc. fill colour, text size, font etc. from one object...and transfer them to another.
???

My format painter tool is to duplicate the object. It has all the origional object properties and like any ACTIVstudio object it is editable.

I might have missed your point here, but this works for me.

Yes, that's true, and that is what one normally would do, but sometimes you (for example) create 20 text objects on a page and then decide that the font is wrong, or spot that they are all bold, or decide that they' look much better in blue with a green border and a red background (?!?), and it takes ages to change them all individually.
