See Figure 16-16B. Selecting the tool applies the visual style to the current viewport. You can also right-click on the tool to display a shortcut menu. Using this menu, you can apply the visual style to the current viewport, apply it to all viewports, or add the visual style to the current drawing. The shortcut menu also allows you to rename the tool, access the properties of the visual style, and delete the visual style from the palette. PROFESSIONAL TIP PROFESSIONAL TIP A visual style can be added as a tool on a tool palette by dragging its image tile from the Visual Styles Manager and dropping it onto the tool palette.
