Dear Adobe,
Without you we are not called a designer.

Millions of thanks.

Here are some few difficulties i am facing with illustrator while working.

We are very much worried that why eye dropper tool is not as easy as in design.
Text content in indesign can be easily replaced from exiting style format to new style format using eye dropper.
If i need the same eye dropper property tool from indesign what am i suppose to do?
need a positive solution for this.
also we face difficulty in text copy paste option in illustrator. (Paste in place) need same shortcut as Shift + Ctrl + V from indesign.

It sounds like these are features you've used before that aren't working now. I'm curious did you recently upgrade? If so, it might be a preferences problem.
