Setting Default Styles for Drawing

If you’re drawing your own shapes rather than using Visio 2007 master shapes in a diagram, you can ensure consistent formatting by setting up default styles for the drawing tools. That way, when you draw with the Pencil, Freeform, Line, Arc, Rectangle, and Ellipse tools or use the Text tool, Visio 2007 applies the default styles you have selected to your shape as you create it.
