Universal stroke weight only style

Some of you may know this one already... but I had to learn the hard way...
I have to create about a dozen or more characters. Each works with another or alone etc..
When I started this I was new to Moho and was not using styles. I have since learned that STYLES ARE KING AND RULE ALL!
Since then I have "fixed" all the shape strokes to be a set weight style FOR THE STROKES ONLY. Not stroke color... fill or anything. Just the weight of the stroke.
So now when I import different characters that may or may not be the right size in relation to another character, or if I change the project size, I can easily adjust all the strokes with a simple change to the stroke style... one style for each character... piece of cake.
It takes a little more work to assign the stroke style to each shape during creation but this is minor compared to the time saved later if I need to change the stroke weight.
