In-Depth Information
Eyedropper tool, it picks up the object's color and stroke attributes and displays them in
the Tools, Color, and Stroke panels. You can pick up attributes from any type of object,
even a graphic image and the object doesn't need to be selected. If an object is selected,
the color and stroke attributes are applied to the selected object. The Eyedropper tool also
provides options for you to customize the attributes—such as Appearance, Transparency,
Focal Fill and Focal Stroke, Character Style and Paragraph Style—that you want to pick
up with the tool.
