&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Use Active Attributes&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When using the &lt;em&gt;Change Element Attributes&lt;/em&gt; tool, you&amp;#39;ll notice that there is an option to &lt;em&gt;Use Active Attributes.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/em&gt;When this is turned on,&amp;nbsp; the active attribute settings are connected to the&amp;nbsp;tool settings box.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;In other words, if the tool settings change, then so do &amp;nbsp;the active attributes and vice versa. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, if the option is turned off, then changes to the tool settings will not impact your active attributes and vice versa. &lt;/p&gt;
