Since Eye drop tool coping all the properties from one object to another and I Don't want this in some cases.
Does any one knows how to copy only selected property form one object to another in illustrator.
If you double-click the Eyedropper Tool you can choose which items get picked up. It's a bit unreliable, and has a few bugs, but it does work in many cases.
You could also simply select Object A, drag the color from the Color Panel to the Swatch Panel, then select Object B and click the swatch you created to use that color.
Many have selected merely holding the Shift and clicking with the Eyedropper tool. You can do that. However you should be aware that Shift-clicking with the Eyedropper tool picks up the color used for the screen preview. The Shift key picks up the preview color, not the actual color as it is applied to an object. The Shift-click method may not be one to use if you are trying to keep colors between objects the same.
Select the desired stroke or fill that you would like changed. Select Eyedropper tool. Hold Shift + Click on the new color.
Just to add to what scott wrote.
Using the eyedropper tool will apply all properties of the object selected (items that are selected when you doublt-click the eyedropper tool at least).
Another shortcut is to hold shift when picking the colour, that will only pick the colour clicked to the object selected, and will apply it to the active appearance at that moment (Stroke vs Fill).
Hope this helps!
Shift+click doesn't work in CS6 (at least ont in 16.0.3). It just selects desired color but not applied it. I didn't find apply color function - i tried to click with different key combinations, click on color boxes, or on numeric value to go to edit mode and acknowledge value with enter key - nothing worked. Illustrator stays blind and deaf for user tries. What works (beside changing eyedropper inner options): 1) shift+X to swap colors two times, doesn't work if two or more objects have different stroke or fill color (the one we are not interested to change). 2) copy color value from box, enter 0, enter again to the box, and paste copied value.
Many functions Illustrator has seems totally underdeveloped or badly thought and behaves much better in Inkscape or any other alternative editors. Real shame for such big player as Adobe.
