search and replace by fill, stroke, style, kind or layer, one object as a model selects all similar ones, on a swatch “Where used?” says which objects carry it

Dialog box “Find objects” in the program, filled in with example values

Where to find itEdit › Find and replace … (⌘F) › Object search

Object search finds frames by fill, stroke, object style, kind, layer or effect. You can select matches one by one or replace matching properties together. For a catalogue revision, you can find all frames sharing a stroke weight. A context menu lets an existing object serve as a model for selecting similar objects. On a swatch, Where used? selects affected objects and reports text locations using that colour.

How to do it

  1. Open Edit › Find and replace … and Object search.
  2. Set the criteria and Object scope.
  3. Review matches or use Select results.
  4. Set replacement values and click Replace results if needed.
