Introduction
In this episode, we'll master the eyedropper tool for copying color and stroke styles from other objects or images, as well as select same to select all objects with the same color at once. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Illustrator series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. These two features save a lot of time when matching styles. Eyedropper copies attributes, while select same finds all objects with specific attributes. Open the file containing 6 simple weather icons with random colors and varying stroke thicknesses.
Step 1: Icon with random style
The first sun icon already has the correct style, with a yellow fill and thick orange stroke.
Step 2: Eyedropper Tool
Select the second sun icon. Press I to activate the eyedropper tool, then click the first sun. Fill, stroke, and stroke thickness are copied instantly, making both suns identical. Select all clouds with shift-click, then use the eyedropper to click on the cloud that already has the correct style.
Step 3: Copy to multiple objects
All clouds are selected and change in one click.
Step 4: Select Same Fill Color
Click on one of the blue raindrops. Select select, same, fill color. All objects with the same blue fill are instantly selected across the entire artboard. With all raindrops selected, change their color to turquoise using the swatches panel.
Step 5: Replace color at once
This method is much faster than selecting one by one.
Step 6: Clean up and export
Align and space out the six icons using the align panel. The weather icons are now consistent. Save and export.
Done!
Done. We've copied attributes using the eyedropper, applied them to multiple objects, selected objects with the same color using select same, and changed them all at once. In the next episode, we'll learn about transparency and blending modes. Need a logo design, brand identity, vector illustration, infographic, or print and social media materials?
