Appearance Drag Apply

Want to quick­ly copy an appear­ance, no mat­ter how com­pli­cat­ed, from one object to others? 

Select the source object, the one with the appear­ance you want to share with the rest. At the top of the Appearance palette is the objec­t’s pre­view icon. Drag that icon and drop it on top of oth­er objects on the art­board. Target objects will imme­di­ate­ly adopt the appear­ance attributes.

Hint: This also works if you’ve defined an appear­ance with no selection.
