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.

For example:


Object A has a fill color + outline. And I want to to copy Fill color (only) and not the outline to Object B. Then what is the solution? Please help.
Thanks in advance

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!

If you double-click the Eyedropper Tool you can choose which items gat 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.
