template for object attributes

Postby nico23 » Fri Nov 29, 2013 11:16 pm

Hello,

let me describe my question with the steps that I want to do with inkscape:
  • import a pdf as background (construction plans)
  • draw an object in the plan
  • apply predifined attributes to the drawn object

I do not know how I could realize the third step. Since I have a manageable number of objects I would like to have some buttons in a toolbar. Then I would draw my object, select it and click the button I need to apply the attributes. The attributes I need to change are fillings and conturs (color, thickness, ...).

Background:
I want to add some entries in the construction plans. These are for example highlighting a starecase or mark walls with a specific color (just drawing a line over those walls)...

What I already did:
I could use a template where I have all my objects drawn with the right attributes (like a legend), copy and paste the style to the new object via CTRL + SHIFT + V.

The question:
Is there any more convenient way to do this? Like creating a toolbar to apply attributes? How would I do that?

Welcome aboard!

Here is a close solution:
draw an object with the right style attributes -import it from a template svg you saved previously, then
copy it and paste it's style into any object.
