Paste Attributes options Depending on the source selection and the target selection, you can choose options listed in the Paste Attributes dialog box. An option is available if the attribute was copied from the source selection and can be applied to the selected target objects. The excep- tion to this rule is the Text Style option. The Text Style option is available whenever the source selection is text, even if the target objects are not. In this case, no Text Style attributes will be applied to the target selection, but the Text Style attributes will be retained as the current attributes and can be applied to new 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. If no target is selected, the source fill ink becomes the current fill ink. 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. If no target is selected, the source pen ink becomes the current pen ink. 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. If no target is selected, the source stroke becomes the current stroke. Dimensions Transfers the dimensions of a rectangle “bounding box” that encompasses the source selection. You can transfer bound- ing 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.
