Change a colour but keep shadings

[Darren_Meerwald@adobeforums.com]

Is it possible after selecting all of the same colours say, PANTONE Red 032 CV, to change them to another colour, say PANTONE 356 CV, but keep the individual shadings. When I try in version 9 the colour changes but the shadings all become 100%. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Darren,

It works in AI10 with Select>Same>Fill Color.

An easy to manage this is by merging the two swatches. Click on the swatch you want to keep, then ctrl-click on the swatch you want to git rid of. Then on the swatch pallet tab choose "merge swatches"

However this does not work in version 9 if you have gradients. ie it will change the gradient to a 100% fill of the replacing swatch.
