(Optional) Apply a Theme to Individual Objects in a Model

You can apply a theme to individual objects instead of the entire model. In your Employee data model, you can apply a different theme to each department (object) to organize the model. For example, you can apply one theme to the Human Resources object and another theme to the Marketing Division object.

You can also apply a theme by copying it from one object and pasting it to another object using the context menu. You can copy and paste a theme between similar objects and not between different objects. For example, you can copy and paste a theme between entities and not between an entity and a diagram. This option is useful if you want to apply a theme including any overrides that you have applied for a specific entity.

Follow these steps:

1. Ctrl + click each object that you want to select in your model.
2. Right-click and click Override Fonts and Colors.

   The Multiple Shape Object Editor opens.

3. Click the Style tab.
4. Click the Theme drop-down list under the Theme for Default Font and Color options section, and select your theme.

   Your theme is applied to the selected objects.

5. Click Close.

   The Multiple Shape Object Editor closes.

The theme is applied to the selected objects.
