DesignSeries05395.pngApplying sketch styles to viewports

You can apply a default sketch style to a sheet layer; this sketches the objects on the sheet layer, but it does not sketch the viewports on the sheet layer. Each sheet layer viewport can have its own sketch style, making it easy to present designs with different sketched looks.

A sketch style cannot be directly applied to a design layer viewport, but it can be applied to the layer of the design layer viewport.

To apply a sketch style to a sheet layer viewport:

Select the viewport.

On the Shape tab of the Object Info palette, select Sketch from the Background Render or Foreground Render list. Click Background Render Settings or Foreground Render Settings to select the default sketch style for the viewport.

If you are creating a viewport, select Sketch from the Rendering list in the Create Viewport dialog box, and then click Render Settings to select the default sketch style for the viewport.

The Sketch Render Settings dialog box opens. Select a sketch style for the viewport.
