Hi there, guys. In today's video vinyl catch, we'll be looking at the drop tour. But before that, let's have a quick intro first. Mhm, Mhm, Mhm. So today's video can be found on softwaretraining.co.za. You guys will know that we've got a variety of different Softwares we do cover and also we upload videos daily. So just keep it there for the new content. Otherwise, we're back in the programme yet now the drop of tool is quite handy if you want to save time and, um, just quickly pick colours from another object. Um, so yeah can save you A lot of times it's got a few different options. We can sit, but first of all to locate it, it will be under our two bar here on the left and we zoom this little eyedropper Yeah, it will say, Drop on it. You can just elected top here. You can see on the sample. It's two options. We've got a three different options. So we've got full and stroke volk or stroke. So let's just leave it on. Well, in stroke, obviously you can imagine if it's on full. We sample or only symbol the fill or stroke. Likewise, only the stroke. One thing to keep in mind that this option does. This tool does not copy, let's say, stroke settings, so copy its colour, but not its size. So you also have to say that individual. So now, with your shape selected. So let's say I want to change the shapes colours. Then I need to have this shape selected. Then I'll go to my drop a tour. Okay, Did I make sure my sorry wrong one to make sure my options are set right? And then I click on the shape I wanted to copy. So when she's there will be the solid, or I can click on that gradient. Which of those gradients and patterns as well copies of that. But now if we're a bit on this one and we go to sorry, my bad and then we go to it's a actually, uh, well in stroke settings, as you can see, uh, with of the stroke store, so you will have to constantly adjust this again to get the same Sykes. Now you can obviously use your dropper and you can set it to It's a copy. This one stroke like we did or then I mean the stroke. And then you can just send it to full and then copy. This was full. As you can see now, it's still with the stroke of the previous one, but the full of the new one. So it's also a handy way to quickly navigate through different options we can also do is if we select more than one shape where these two shapes selected can still use your I dropped her and I'm gonna set it for them stroke and we click on the gradient. You'll see it copied for both them. It won't go. But as you might have noticed, it's not treating these two selected items as one. So if you were going a solid colour or pattern, perhaps you can easily get away with this. But, uh, to do this right, you'll have to unfortunately select each shape individually and then sample the gradient like that. Otherwise, that is it on the dropper tool. Very handy tool. If you get confident with it, can save quite some time. Otherwise, if we navigate you to, uh, the programme is freely available here, just head to the downloads page. Otherwise, under softwaretraining.co.za. Um, like I mentioned, we've got a variety of different cultures. We do cover, and also you can isolate. Just search on top here.
