Favorites can be applied from three different locations, each shown below:
•Favorites Chooser in the Toolbox or Info Box
•Favorites Palette (Window > Palettes > Favorites)
•Tool Settings Dialog box
For information on Favorites controls in Library Part tool dialog boxes, see Settings of Library Part Elements.
In every case, select the Favorite, then double-click to apply to a selected element.
Or select a Favorite and click Apply (button or context menu).

Text tool Favorites can be applied to any text-type items when Dimensions, Labels, and Fills with Area Text are selected.

Favorites of any of the four Line-type tools (Line, Arc, Polyline, Spline) can be applied to any of the other Line-type elements. For example, apply a Line Tool Favorite to a selected Arc.
