FLOW CHART

We are trying to make a flow chart. After I have formatted my autoshape boxes is there a way to keep adding another shape that will have the same format? I have to keep getting a new auto shape and then change the color etc. I want what I have formatted to be the default shape, color, line, etc.

Several options at least;

One: With a shape selected key Cmd+D to Duplicate it as many times as you
wish, then drag each duplicate to the desired position, or

Hold the Option key while you drag a shape to create a duplicate in the new
location you drag it to, or

Once you format a particular shape you want to use again add it to the
Scrapbook then just drag a copy from the Scrapbook when you need it, or

Once you format a shape Control/Right-Click it & select Set AutoShape
Defaults. But that is only in effect for the current document & applies to
any shapes you create in that document after you set the default...

And don't forget good ol' copy/paste as well as the Format Painter.
