The material definition has been added as a material tool to the
tool palette. You can use it to apply the material to objects, as
described in Using the Material Tool to Add Materials to Objects
on page 877.
NOTE The material tool uses the material definition you selected in
Style Manager. The style location of the material tool is the drawing
containing the definition. This means that when using this material
tool you have access to all material definitions contained in the
drawing.
