Tip of the Day

Easily set properties for multiple blocks in Tool Palettes

Lots of people think that when you have blocks saved in a Tool Palette, you have to Right-clickProperties each individual block to apply custom settings. What if you have 20 blocks and you want them all to have the same setting? Well, just hold Ctrl and highlight the blocks you want within the Tool Palette, then right click on any of the selected blocks to apply global settings.

Also, you can hold the Ctrl button to select your first block, then hold the Shift button to select the last block, then right click on any of the selected blocks to apply a global settings. Makes things much easier than one at a time.
