Select the type tool and click on the path. Copy your text and paste it onto the path. Select the path/text with the selection tool (black arrow). Select the eyedropper tool (double-click on the tool and first make sure it applies/picks up 'appearance'). Use the eyedropper to pick up the appearance of the first text object.

It 1/2 way worked. I followed your steps, but it didn't past the entire appearance.

I just noticed your object stack in Layer 1. Is the type composed of many separate objects?

It would need to be a single object composed of multiple appearances to copy.

Its a single object. The image with the ?appearance stack? idk what to call it. That stack of fills is what I want to be able to copy/paste onto a path with text. So I dont have to redo all the appearance configurations again.

 

Also, thanks for your help.

I do not have your font, so I am using Myraid Pro instead.

Save it as a Graphic Style.

Give your text a large point size like your original text.
