| Using the eyedropper, you can copy attributes (such as color, wallpaper, and pen width) from one object to another. You can also copy attributes and use them to create a new object.
To copy an object's attributes:
| 1 |
Select the eyedropper in the Tools window: |
| 2 |
Click the object whose attributes you want to copy. (For a transparent object, click the border.) |
|
The Fill and Pen formatting buttons in the Tools window change to reflect the new default attributes. |
| 3 |
Apply the attributes to a new or existing object: |
|
| |
For a new object, select a drawing tool and draw. |
| |
For an existing object, click the eyedropper, then hold down the Command key and click the object. |
|
|
Tip: To use the eyedropper repeatedly without having to select it each time, double-click it. To switch quickly between the currently selected tool and the eyedropper, press the Tab key. |
