Nathan Shirley Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Am I correct that there is no way to replace all objects of a specific color (colour) with a different specific color? In other words, if a document contains 983 objects with fill set to HSL: 0, 0, 70 -- is there no way to change all to HSL: 0, 0, 75? I realize this can be done with global colors, if they are set when the document is created and used for all colors in the document. But is there another way? I can't seem to find a way to take an existing color, set it as a global color, and then change all objects with that original color. The Find/Replace works for text (well most text, not sure why it's not finding all text of a specific color value). But for objects? Quote
walt.farrell Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 No, there's no way to do that for objects simply by changing the color if you didn't start by making them with a global color. If they all have the same stroke settings, though, perhaps you could: 1. Select as many of the objects as you can easily select, and change the color. It will affect all of them 2. Edit > Copy 3. Select more objects. 4. Edit > Paste Style (Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+V) 5. Repeat from step 3 as needed.
