Chapter 3: Objects And Attributes
Paste Attributes options
Pen ink Transfers the source selection’s pen ink. You can transfer pen inks if the
source selection is a vector object or text that has a pen ink, and the
target objects are vector or text objects.
Fill ink Transfers the source selection’s fill ink. You can transfer fill inks if the
source selection is a vector object or text that has a fill ink, and the
target objects are vector or text objects.
Stroke Transfers the source selection’s stroke, including pen, dash, and arrow
attributes. You can transfer strokes if the source selection is a vector
object or text that has a stroke, and the target objects are vector or text
objects.
Dimensions Transfers the dimensions of a rectangle “bounding box” that
encompasses the source selection. You can transfer bounding box
dimensions from any source object to any selected objects, but not to
text selected within a text object. This makes all target objects the same
size as the source.
If the source object has been rotated or skewed, you can transfer its
original dimensions by selecting Dimensions. To transfer its
transformed dimensions, select Transform.
Transform Transfers rotation and skewing applied to the source selection’s
bounding box. You can transfer these effects to any selected objects.
Transparency Transfers the transparency effects applied to the source selection.
Text Style Transfers certain text attributes from a text source selection to a text
target selection: font, type size, text style (bold, italic, and so on),
leading, kerning, and justification. You can transfer text attributes when
a particular attribute is uniform in the source selection; e.g., if different
kerning values are applied to characters in the source text, kerning will
not be available for transfer to the target text.
SpriteEffects Transfers filters and adjustments that have been applied with the
SpriteEffects palette from the source to the target objects.
Making multiple copies
Use the Copy and Paste commands to make multiple copies of selected objects through the Clipboard.
If you want more control over placement, number of copies, scaling or rotation, use the Duplicate and
Replicate commands to make multiple copies.
