To apply an object's color to another object

1. Select the object that has the color you want to copy (Selecting objects).

2. Drag the 'current color' indicator patch (from the left-hand end of the Color Line) and drop it onto the object you wish to color.

To apply an object's color to the selected object

1. Open the Color Editor (Color Editor on the Utilities menu).

You could also drag the color from the Color Editor or the Color Gallery (selecting the object automatically selects the color in the gallery).

You can also copy color using Paste Attributes (see Pasting attributes from the clipboard).

You can drag either the line color or the fill color off the Color Line.
