OBJECTID/i The number of the object to manipulate. Default=current.
STYLETAG/s Sets the attribute for a style tag.
Notes:
STROKENUMBER: Strokes are numbered from 0. This is different than the program interface which numbers them from 1.
COLORNUMBER: If Basic fills are used, or if you are setting stroke color, the color number is always 0 and does not need to be specified. This is used for gradient, radial and shape fills. Color number 0 is the From color and 1 is the To color.
TINT: This parameter is equivalent to the Tint control in the Edit Color dialog box, and not the Tint controls in the Line & Fill dialog box.
Examples:
setcolor black setcolor tint 50 PANTONE 'PANTONE 120 CV' ยจ strokenumber 1 object setcolor cmyk 25 43 0 12 shadow
