Can CorelDraw X4 select a specific color only? Lets say I have a complex graphic with more than 50 or more colors and thousands of objects all on one layer, for example, is there a way to select one color, like Pantone 175C, but select all of the same objects that are Pantone 175C, and group them to change them all to a different color, like Pantone 478C.
Any hints, this is easily done in Gerber software. Thanks~~Mahogan
Select any object with this fill
menu Edit / find and replace / find objects / find objects that match the currently selected object
in the next window, choose "edit" and uncheck the "object types" box (you can specify a lot of propierties if you want: fill, outline, outline width, overprints, and much more)
When finish, choose "select all". If any object is part of group, CorelDRAW will ask ou if you want to ungroup
you might enjoy this macro (if the attachment doesn't show up, let me know) A couple things to note: the object you choose to select first should not be text, although it will find and change text. And, once all the elements are selected, you have to click back in the Draw program before using the keyboard for some action, such as using the Delete key. Enjoy, joan

Thanks for posting this. I just finished digging this up from my back up for years ago, but I can't find any information on the key commands that were assigned to it. Do you have any idea?
Select your artwork and drag and drop in the Color Styles docker, all the colors in your design will appear there; now Shift-click any color in the Pantone palette, and type 478 and click Ok, the Pantone 478 will be hilighted in the palette. Grab the 478C from the palette and drop it on top of the 175C in the color styles docker and all the instances of 175c will be automatically replaced with 478C, even those used in gradients.
It's magic
WOW!! This is absolutely the BEST solution!! When viewing the colors in the Color Styles docker, I can right click on the color I want to change and choose Edit and change everything in my graphic that is that color to any color, be it CMYK, Pantone or all else. What an easy, fantastic solution! Thank you! ~Mahogan
