Hello,

I'm using inkscape since a long time and always wondered how to set the style of e.g. a line for the upcoming lines to be drawn. Use Case: I have the problem that when drawing a line I'm currently always getting arrows at the end which I manually change to straight end via menue. That changes the style of the selected line, but not for the upcoming lines I want to draw. How to I do that?

Many thanks for your help

You have checked "Last used Style" selected in the tool´s Preferences. Double-click the tool in the tool shelf to get to its properties.

Polygon, many thanks. But I wonder what is defined as Last used Style.

Example

1.) I draw a Bezier line

2.) Format the line with thickness 0.5mm, red color and one arrow at the end

3.) I double click to end the drawing

4.) I now draw a new Bezier line

5.) double clikc at the end.

6.) What I get a a line as in 2, but without the arro at the end.

So my question is - are arrows not part of the last used style?

Sometimes I get automatically arrows at the end (when I've used them before), but I do not see a systematic way to do that?

Many thanks

Rainer

Btw: I'm using Inkscape 1.3.2 (091e20e, 2023-11-25, custom)

Seems marker don´t work as "last used Style" but copy+shift,cmd,V (Edit->Paste Style) will insert the Style (need to be copied before from a path with arrow).

mmmh, sometimes I get, when drawing a new line, automatically arrows and sometimes not.-  that it my issue - I don't know how to control that
