How do I apply the same drop shadow to multiple objects?

I found a thread telling me to use the Clone Effect under the Effect menu but I can't select anything in either Clone or Copy Effect. All options are greyed out. So, how do I use it? I've tried selecting the object, just the drop shadow and both the object and drop shadow together but I'm not given the option to copy or clone. BTW, I'm using X7.

  • You could create and save your own "drop shadow preset" with the parameters of your choosing then select all shapes/objects you want to shadow and hit the drop shadow tool and choose your preset.
