In the past, you could opt to give new objects the most recent attributes. For example, if you applied a red linear fill to an object and had a blue outline, and if you opted to give new objects the most recent attributes, the next object you drew would have a red linear fill and a blue outline. This is now the default option, so if you prefer to assign your own attributes each time you create a new object, then un-check this box (highlighted in green in the above example).The screen capture utility (Utilities > Screen Capture) now has a useful time delay feature.
