1 00:00:00.01 --> 00:00:02.04 - [Voiceover] In this movie, I'll show you how to wipe out 2 00:00:02.04 --> 00:00:05.02 the fills and strokes that are assigned to an object 3 00:00:05.02 --> 00:00:07.05 and I'll also show you how to duplicate 4 00:00:07.05 --> 00:00:10.06 all of the appearance attributes-that is the fills 5 00:00:10.06 --> 00:00:13.02 and the strokes and the dynamic effects 6 00:00:13.02 --> 00:00:16.00 from one path outline onto another. 7 00:00:16.00 --> 00:00:18.02 So, notice that I've got my ellipse selected 8 00:00:18.02 --> 00:00:21.02 and let's say I'm not very happy with this shade of green 9 00:00:21.02 --> 00:00:22.09 that I've assigned to the fill. 10 00:00:22.09 --> 00:00:26.01 I can go ahead and turn it off by clicking on his eyeball 11 00:00:26.01 --> 00:00:29.01 or of course, I can turn it back on again if I like. 12 00:00:29.01 --> 00:00:30.09 If I want to get rid of it; however, 13 00:00:30.09 --> 00:00:32.05 I just need to select the attribute 14 00:00:32.05 --> 00:00:34.06 and then drop down to the trashcan icon 15 00:00:34.06 --> 00:00:37.04 in the lower right corner of the appearance panel 16 00:00:37.04 --> 00:00:41.03 and click on it and that particular attribute will go away. 17 00:00:41.03 --> 00:00:43.02 That's not really what I want; however, so I'll go ahead 18 00:00:43.02 --> 00:00:45.09 and press control Z or command Z on the Mac 19 00:00:45.09 --> 00:00:47.08 in order to bring that fill back. 20 00:00:47.08 --> 00:00:50.03 All I really want to do is change it to a lighter shade 21 00:00:50.03 --> 00:00:51.07 of green, so I'll just go ahead 22 00:00:51.07 --> 00:00:53.05 and click on this color swatch 23 00:00:53.05 --> 00:00:55.02 in order to bring up the swatches panel, 24 00:00:55.02 --> 00:00:57.06 so we have access to the swatches panel 25 00:00:57.06 --> 00:01:01.01 here as well as up here in the control panel 26 00:01:01.01 --> 00:01:04.00 and of course in the swatches panel itself. 27 00:01:04.00 --> 00:01:06.05 And then, I'll just go ahead and select this lighter shade 28 00:01:06.05 --> 00:01:07.05 of green. 29 00:01:07.05 --> 00:01:09.05 Allright, now let's say I want to reduce the number 30 00:01:09.05 --> 00:01:13.03 of fills and strokes to just those that are 31 00:01:13.03 --> 00:01:14.06 at the top of the stack. 32 00:01:14.06 --> 00:01:17.06 In that case, I would click on the flyout menu icon 33 00:01:17.06 --> 00:01:19.06 in the upper right corner of the appearance panel 34 00:01:19.06 --> 00:01:22.03 and I would choose reduce the basic appearance 35 00:01:22.03 --> 00:01:24.08 and that's just gonna keep the green fill 36 00:01:24.08 --> 00:01:26.06 as well as the green stroke. 37 00:01:26.06 --> 00:01:27.09 The ones that appear here 38 00:01:27.09 --> 00:01:30.01 on the left side of the control panel. 39 00:01:30.01 --> 00:01:32.02 And notice as soon as I choose a command 40 00:01:32.02 --> 00:01:34.05 that's exactly what I see 41 00:01:34.05 --> 00:01:38.05 and I end up wiping out any and all dynamic effects as well. 42 00:01:38.05 --> 00:01:41.04 So, notice that this is the way things look before. 43 00:01:41.04 --> 00:01:44.06 So, both the green fill and the green stroke were rotated 44 00:01:44.06 --> 00:01:47.04 and this is the way things look now. 45 00:01:47.04 --> 00:01:49.09 Allright so, just for the sake of demonstration here, 46 00:01:49.09 --> 00:01:51.07 I'll press control Z or command Z on the Mac 47 00:01:51.07 --> 00:01:53.06 to bring everything back once again. 48 00:01:53.06 --> 00:01:58.02 You can also entirely clear your fill and stroke attributes 49 00:01:58.02 --> 00:02:00.03 by going to that same flyout menu icon 50 00:02:00.03 --> 00:02:02.02 and choosing clear appearance 51 00:02:02.02 --> 00:02:04.06 in which case you wipe out everything. 52 00:02:04.06 --> 00:02:07.00 You no longer have any dynamic effects of course, 53 00:02:07.00 --> 00:02:10.05 but both your fill and your stroke are set to none 54 00:02:10.05 --> 00:02:13.08 as witnessed by these red slashes on the left side 55 00:02:13.08 --> 00:02:15.06 of the control panel. 56 00:02:15.06 --> 00:02:17.05 Allright again, I'll go ahead and undo the change 57 00:02:17.05 --> 00:02:20.04 by pressing control Z or command Z on the Mac. 58 00:02:20.04 --> 00:02:22.08 Allright, now let's say I want to draw a new shape 59 00:02:22.08 --> 00:02:25.04 that has nothing special going on. I'll just go ahead 60 00:02:25.04 --> 00:02:28.04 and click off the ellipse in order to deselect it 61 00:02:28.04 --> 00:02:30.02 and I want you to notice something now. 62 00:02:30.02 --> 00:02:35.01 Let's say, I go ahead and choose reduce to basic appearance. 63 00:02:35.01 --> 00:02:37.06 Nothing's going to happen and why is that? 64 00:02:37.06 --> 00:02:40.07 Because you can clearly see here in the appearance panel 65 00:02:40.07 --> 00:02:42.05 that we have a green stroke and a green fill. 66 00:02:42.05 --> 00:02:45.04 Well, we also have the words no selection, 67 00:02:45.04 --> 00:02:47.01 which is telling me that 68 00:02:47.01 --> 00:02:49.04 if I press control Z or command Z on the Mac, 69 00:02:49.04 --> 00:02:52.02 this long list of fills and strokes here 70 00:02:52.02 --> 00:02:55.00 are just going to affect the next thing I draw, 71 00:02:55.00 --> 00:02:56.07 but that's not actually entirely true 72 00:02:56.07 --> 00:02:58.05 and this can be a little bit confusing 73 00:02:58.05 --> 00:03:01.01 because if I bring up the flyout menu again 74 00:03:01.01 --> 00:03:02.07 notice this command right there, 75 00:03:02.07 --> 00:03:06.01 new art has basic appearance; that's turned on by default. 76 00:03:06.01 --> 00:03:08.08 And that means if I were to draw something right now 77 00:03:08.08 --> 00:03:12.01 it would just have that green stroke in the green fill. 78 00:03:12.01 --> 00:03:13.09 It wouldn't have all the other junk. 79 00:03:13.09 --> 00:03:15.05 If that's not the way you want to work- 80 00:03:15.05 --> 00:03:17.05 if you want to be constantly drawing things 81 00:03:17.05 --> 00:03:19.04 that have tons of fills and strokes on them 82 00:03:19.04 --> 00:03:20.08 over and over again, 83 00:03:20.08 --> 00:03:23.04 then you could use this command to turn it off. 84 00:03:23.04 --> 00:03:24.08 I'm going to leave that alone; however, 85 00:03:24.08 --> 00:03:26.05 because I want to show you something here. 86 00:03:26.05 --> 00:03:29.01 I'm gonna go ahead and tap the D key 87 00:03:29.01 --> 00:03:32.00 in order to switch to the default fill and stroke, 88 00:03:32.00 --> 00:03:34.00 which means at least for path outlines, 89 00:03:34.00 --> 00:03:37.02 a white fill and a black one point stroke. 90 00:03:37.02 --> 00:03:39.04 And now, I'll switch back to the layers panel 91 00:03:39.04 --> 00:03:42.06 and turn on the guides layer just so that I can see 92 00:03:42.06 --> 00:03:44.08 thinner guides right there, and then 93 00:03:44.08 --> 00:03:46.05 I'll switch back to the rectangle tool, 94 00:03:46.05 --> 00:03:49.01 which of course I can get by pressing the M key 95 00:03:49.01 --> 00:03:50.08 and an alt or option click 96 00:03:50.08 --> 00:03:53.06 right there at the intersection of those two guidelines 97 00:03:53.06 --> 00:03:55.09 in order to bring up the rectangle dialog box 98 00:03:55.09 --> 00:03:58.00 and I'm gonna give this guy a width of 200 points 99 00:03:58.00 --> 00:04:01.00 and a height of 100 points and click ok 100 00:04:01.00 --> 00:04:03.08 and notice that it comes in with the white fill 101 00:04:03.08 --> 00:04:06.03 and the black stroke which is gonna be more evident 102 00:04:06.03 --> 00:04:09.04 if I press the V key to switch back to black arrow tool 103 00:04:09.04 --> 00:04:12.02 so I'm not seeing those live shape widgets. 104 00:04:12.02 --> 00:04:13.09 Allright now let's say I want to apply 105 00:04:13.09 --> 00:04:16.02 all that stuff all those fills and strokes 106 00:04:16.02 --> 00:04:19.03 that I assigned to the ellipse, to this new rectangle 107 00:04:19.03 --> 00:04:20.09 but then there's a couple of different ways to work. 108 00:04:20.09 --> 00:04:24.01 My favorite is to switch back to the appearance panel 109 00:04:24.01 --> 00:04:27.01 and then go ahead and select the ellipse, 110 00:04:27.01 --> 00:04:30.00 so that you can bring up at six fill and stroke attributes 111 00:04:30.00 --> 00:04:32.02 and then notice this thumbnail right there, 112 00:04:32.02 --> 00:04:35.02 go ahead and grab it and drag it and drop it 113 00:04:35.02 --> 00:04:39.00 onto the rectangle and that will automatically assign 114 00:04:39.00 --> 00:04:41.04 those fill and stroke attributes. 115 00:04:41.04 --> 00:04:43.01 So, that's one way to work. 116 00:04:43.01 --> 00:04:45.03 I'll go and press control Z or command Z on the Mac 117 00:04:45.03 --> 00:04:47.02 to undo that change, and by the way 118 00:04:47.02 --> 00:04:49.03 again, that is my favorite way 119 00:04:49.03 --> 00:04:51.04 because it's the easiest way to remember, 120 00:04:51.04 --> 00:04:53.02 but I'm gonna show you another way that works 121 00:04:53.02 --> 00:04:55.03 from the layers panel. I'll go ahead and turn off 122 00:04:55.03 --> 00:04:56.02 the guides layer, 123 00:04:56.02 --> 00:04:58.04 just because I'm sick of seeing those guides, 124 00:04:58.04 --> 00:05:00.06 and I'll twirl open the drawing layer, 125 00:05:00.06 --> 00:05:04.01 and I want you to notice our meatballs here, these circles. 126 00:05:04.01 --> 00:05:07.05 Notice the one for the ellipse is all sculptural 127 00:05:07.05 --> 00:05:10.08 which indicates that we have some appearance attributes 128 00:05:10.08 --> 00:05:13.07 in other words, multiple fills and stroke 129 00:05:13.07 --> 00:05:16.01 as well as dynamic effects, whereas 130 00:05:16.01 --> 00:05:18.01 the one for the rectangle appears hollow 131 00:05:18.01 --> 00:05:21.00 which indicates that it doesn't have anything going on. 132 00:05:21.00 --> 00:05:23.03 If you wanted to move the appearance attributes 133 00:05:23.03 --> 00:05:25.00 from the ellipse to the rectangle, 134 00:05:25.00 --> 00:05:26.08 you would just go ahead and drag and drop 135 00:05:26.08 --> 00:05:29.05 this cultural meatball onto the flat one 136 00:05:29.05 --> 00:05:32.00 and you would end up with this effect here. 137 00:05:32.00 --> 00:05:33.03 I'll go ahead and undo that, 138 00:05:33.03 --> 00:05:35.00 so I can show you the other way to work. 139 00:05:35.00 --> 00:05:38.03 If you want to copy those dynamic affects, 140 00:05:38.03 --> 00:05:40.02 then you press the alt key or the option key 141 00:05:40.02 --> 00:05:43.09 on the Mac and drag and drop like so 142 00:05:43.09 --> 00:05:45.07 and you end up with this effect here 143 00:05:45.07 --> 00:05:49.01 and by the way, nothing has to be selected for that to work. 144 00:05:49.01 --> 00:05:51.01 So, I'll just go ahead and undo that change, 145 00:05:51.01 --> 00:05:54.00 click off the path outline so nothing's selected, 146 00:05:54.00 --> 00:05:56.03 press the D key to go back to my default 147 00:05:56.03 --> 00:06:00.04 fill and stroke attributes for my no selection right here. 148 00:06:00.04 --> 00:06:02.07 And now, here inside the layers panel 149 00:06:02.07 --> 00:06:05.03 I will press the alt key or the option key on the Mac 150 00:06:05.03 --> 00:06:09.02 and drag the sculptural meatball onto the flat circle 151 00:06:09.02 --> 00:06:11.07 in order to produce this effect here. 152 00:06:11.07 --> 00:06:14.09 And that's how you both get rid of fills and strokes 153 00:06:14.09 --> 00:06:18.01 and dynamic effects as well as duplicate them 154 00:06:18.01 --> 00:06:22.02 from one path outline onto another here inside Illustrator.
