Styles<\/h2>\n

So I did all this last fall, before I knew about Styles<\/a>. Shame! I didn’t realize then that I could save each brick as a point symbol or a repeating marker fill symbol or any of that! Creating, re-using, and sharing, styles in Pro is totally awesome.<\/p>\n

But luckily for you, ArcGenius Warren Davison<\/a> is a style master. And he’s made a style that can give you similarly bricky results and has written a how-to. Check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
