Heres Johnny Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Is it possible to copy gradients and paste them onto other objects? Or, i.e. copy a gradient from the Fill and paste it into the Stroke of the same object? Also - paste a new Fill color/style onto another object without affecting the existing Stroke (and vice versa).

Then you can assign the gradient to fills and strokes to other objects. d.

Heres Johnny Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 That's how I do it. But I have my custom palettes all set up and I don't want to create new palettes just to copy a color from one source to another. Especially when working with complex designs. It's slowing me down.

I see. Good to know that you already know about the palette method Perhaps a dialog with options for 'Paste Style' would be a future enhancement to solve your problem? d.

Heres Johnny Posted February 13, 2018 Author Share Posted February 13, 2018 Well, I appreciate your help, but that's not what I'm looking for either - because using "Paste Style" would replace the Fill, the Stroke as well as the FX I might have on that object.

Mithferion Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 This might be a good feature for the Color Picker Tool. Best regards!

I gave this a second thought. If there were something like an 'object properties inspector' that lists each and every aspect of a selected object, then there could be a 'copy property' button with each of them and also a 'paste property'. That way there would be very detailed control on what get's copied from one object to another. This could be enhanced with multiple of the same property like multiple outlines. The paste command would then be enhanced to 'paste and replace' or 'paste and add property'. Perhaps this is closer to what you are asking for? d.
