On the '''Draft command bar''', you will see three buttons: a linewidth setting, a linecolor button, and an {{Button|Apply}} button. If objects are selected when you change those values, they will receive automatically the new values. If no object is selected, the changes you make will apply to objects you will create later. At any moment, you can hit the {{Button|Apply}} button to apply current settings to selected objects. You can also do that from the tree's context menu. If a group is selected, the settings will be applied to all objects in the group.
