Copy fill content from one shape to another

[Boy]

It's all the same to me, Chris. But in this case, you added the right-click option making things easier for Paul B. :-)

Thank you, Chris M. and Boy

I did do that but the "Modified Rectangle" disappears? I can still see the outline if I select that area
but I can not find the contents.

Post a .xar file with these two objects so that we/others may have a look.

Here they are ...

Ah, now I understand what the issue is. First of all, you talked about various fills you applied to the oval but actually there's only one fill, the gradient at the bottom of the group. The others are separate shapes. So, each time you C&P these, you lose the earlier pasted attributes.

I'm not sure what effect you're after but what you could do is duplicate the rectangle twice; apply the fill attributes to the original rectangle; C&P the attributes of the two other shapes into the two duplicates; and finally stack them. That will give you this effect:

Paul, the shape that has the Fills is actually a Group: you have one with a Fill and two Shapes with a Transparency.

You need to clone your target shapes to have the same number as the source and for each one:
Ctrl+C followed by Shift+Ctrl+A for a one-on-one match.

Thank you so much, Fellows ...

I'm getting a much better 'grasp' on how to manage different groups. Not as easy as I thought, but I am grasping
the idea wayyy better than before.
