Understanding Element Style Behavior with a Group of Elements

• The Element Style applied to a group has higher precedence than the property styles applied to individual graphic elements in the group.

• If the Element Style applied to a group of elements has undefined property styles, then the element continues to use its Element Style or element-level settings for undefined property styles.

• If the Element Style that is applied to a group of elements has defined property styles, then those property styles override the property styles defined at the element level for elements in the group.

• An Element Style cannot be applied to a nested element group.

• If you add an element to a group that has a group-level Element Style applied, the group Element Style is applied to it.
