Unlinking graphic styles


    You can remove a graphic style from an object, group, or layer by breaking the link to the graphic style. The object, group, or layer retains the same appearance attributes; however, these attributes are no longer associated with a graphic style. If the graphic style is modified, the unlinked object doesn't change.

To break the link between a graphic style and a selection:

  1. Select the object, group, or layer that has the graphic style applied to it.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Choose Break Link to Graphic Style from the Graphic Styles palette menu, or click the Break Link to Graphic Style button Break Link to Graphic Style button in the palette.
    • Change any appearance attribute of the selection (such as a fill, stroke, transparency, or effect).
