Problem
While you are placing a text you notice you do not have the right settings.
Yet just nearby is another text that already has the right settings.
Wouldn't it be great if you just could pick up the attributes from the other text?
Solution
If you already use ALT+LeftMouseClick to match the basic attributes you noticed that this does match attributes like COLOR and LEVEL but does not match things like the text and pattern properties. Try the following enhancement to also MATCH TEXT and PATTERN properties-
In Workspace> Button Assignments change the "Button:" Alt+Data to the "Action:" match element fromcursor (by default it is match attributes fromcursor)
Beeing effective with the default setting you now are able to also MATCH the also the settings of your TEXT.
And not enough with this. Changing this setting you can even pick up that odd pattern setting on the fly!
