Copying strokes and fills with the Eyedropper tool

You can use the Eyedropper tool to copy fill and stroke attributes from one object and immediately apply them to another object. The Eyedropper tool also lets you sample the image in a bitmap to use as a fill. See Breaking apart groups and objects.

To use the Eyedropper tool to copy and apply stroke or fill attributes:

1 | Select the Eyedropper tool and click the stroke or filled area whose attributes you want to apply to another stroke or filled area.
| When you click a stroke, the tool automatically changes to the Ink Bottle tool. When you click a filled area, the tool automatically changes to the Paint Bucket tool and the Lock Fill modifier is turned on. See Locking a gradient or bitmap to fill the Stage.
2 | Click another stroke or filled area to apply the new attributes.
