    Default AICS: Eyedropper trouble

    In earlier versions of Illustrator, using the same files I am using now, I could select an object, switch to eyedropper tool, and click on another object. The selected object then takes on the same fill and stroke colours of he target object.

    In CS, nothing changes. Well, not nothing, the appearance and toolbox attributed of the object change to what I want. But the object stays the same colour. All options are tunred on i nthe eyedropper.

    I thought CS was an upgrade.

    Default Eyedropper trouble

    Scott,

    I can't reproduce your problem here - shift-click to copy a fill, click to
    copy attributes

    I do that. all information in palettes and tools changes to reflect my action. So the feature mostly works. I just wish that the target object would change colour. It's like those NMD test in the US, where like nine out of ten things work, but the one thing that doesn't is the missle hitting its target.

    With my CS the eyedropper copies the fill but not the stroke.
