Copy fill content from one shape to another

[Paul Bruneau]

Hi Everybody,

I'm wondering if there is an easier way to do this?

I have two shapes, an "Oval" and a "Modified Rectangle".



I've managed several fills inside the "Oval" so that it looks like a jelly oval.
Now I want to fill the "Modified Rectangle" with the same fill.

I can follow the same steps inside the "Modified Rectangle",
(if I can even remember the steps and their order) but it would be so much
easier to simply copy the fill contents of one shape to another.

Can I even do that, or do the different shapes kill that thought? (Nothing found
in the PDF manual, so I'm wondering)

Have you tried Edit/Paste/Paste format/attributes?

On the oval, right-click > 'Copy' then on the rectangle, right-click, hover over 'Paste' and choose 'Paste Format/Attributes'

[Chris M]

Great minds think alike, or, fools seldom differ?

[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.
