Using the Attribute Dropper

Using the Attribute Dropper

You can use the Attribute Dropper to quickly copy the attributes of an object, such as stroke, pen, and fill ink, text style, transform, dimensions, transparency, Dynamic Effects, and/or SpriteEffects, and paste them onto another object.

To Copy the Attributes of an Object:

  1. From the Miscellaneous section of the Toolbox, (click the Knife tool), select the Attributes Dropper
  2. Click the object with the attributes you want to copy.
  3. In the Properties bar, select the checkboxes of the attributes you want pasted, and deselect those you don't want pasted.

To Paste Attributes onto Another Object:

  1. Click the target object(s).
  2. To change the source object and continue copying and pasting, press the Select New Source Object button in the Properties bar.

When working with grouped objects, the Attribute Dropper will not copy the pen or fill inks. It will only copy and paste the grouped object's dimensions, transparency, and SpriteEffects.

To copy the attributes of a grouped object, select the Attribute Dropper, then select Group object as a whole in the Properties bar. Then click the target object to paste the group's attributes.

To paste the attributes of an object onto a grouped object, select the object and the Attribute Dropper. Then select Group object as a whole in the Properties bar. Click the target group to paste the object's attributes.
