Copy just the shape (outline of an object) like: Typeface with Pen tool... a certain Urgency!

[ana sofiaf4471999]

Hello, I have several squares in illustrator made with different colors but I want to copy just the (particular) "shape" I made in one without having to copy and paste or redo it over and over again, can someone tell me how? I'm looking for something like the Pen tool which I use with Typefaces because its very easy to copy and past different fonts into different texts...

Thank you

If I understand what you want, you could use the Transform Effect to make as may copies as you need, and then Expand to separate them if they need to each be recolored.

If you don't Expand Appearance, any changes you make to the main form will be echoed in all of the others.

You can also change size and rotation with this pallet.
