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.
