To select objects with the same fill and stroke
Note:
The Select > Same commands do not work with Live Paint groups.
•
To select all objects with the same fill or stroke color, select an object with that fill or stroke color or choose the
color from the Color palette or Swatches palette. Then choose Select > Same > Fill Color, Select > Same > Stroke
Color, or Select > Same > Fill & Stroke.
•
To select all objects with the same stroke weight, select an object with that stroke weight or choose the stroke
weight from the Stroke palette. Then choose Select > Same > Stroke Weight.
•
To apply the same selection options using a different object (for example, if you have already selected all red
objects using the Same > Fill Color command and now you want to search for all green objects), select a new object
and then choose Select > Reselect.
To consider the tint of an object when selecting based on color, choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or
Illustrator > Preferences > General (Mac OS), and choose Select Same Tint %. For instance, with this option selected,
if you select an object filled with a 50% tint of PANTONE Yellow C and choose Select > Same > Fill Color, Illustrator
selects only those objects filled with a 50% tint of that color. With the option deselected, objects with any tint of
PANTONE Yellow C are selected.
To create multiple fills and strokes
You use the Appearance palette to create multiple fills and strokes within the same object. Adding multiple fills and
strokes to an object is the basis for creating many interesting effects. For example, you can create a second, narrower
stroke on top of a wide stroke, or you can apply an effect to one fill but not the other.

Select one or more objects or groups (or target a layer in the Layers palette).
