Miter, round, and bevel joins.
9. To avoid beveling a Miter join, enter a Miter limit.

Applying a Miter limit.
Adjust the strokes of multiple lines or shapes
To change the stroke color, width, and style of one or more lines or shape outlines, use the Ink Bottle tool. You can apply only solid colors, not
gradients or bitmaps, to lines or shape outlines.
Using the Ink Bottle tool, rather than selecting individual lines, makes it easier to change the stroke attributes of multiple objects at one time.
1. Select the Ink Bottle tool from the Tools panel.
2. Select a stroke color.
3. Select a stroke style and stroke width from the Property inspector.
4. To apply the stroke modifications, click an object on the Stage.
Copy strokes and fills
Use the Eyedropper tool to copy fill and stroke attributes from one object and immediately apply them to another object. The Eyedropper tool also
lets you sample the image in a bitmap to use as a fill.
1. To apply the attributes of a stroke or filled area to another stroke or filled area, select the Eyedropper tool and click the stroke or filled area
whose attributes you want to apply.
When you click a stroke, the tool automatically changes to the Ink Bottle tool. When you click a filled area, the tool automatically changes to
the Paint Bucket tool with the Lock Fill modifier turned on.
2. Click another stroke or filled area to apply the new attributes.
