setz Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 In Layout is there a way to fill objects and/or Text with a solid color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Hi Robert, We will be adding basic "fills" in the future, but you can apply a solid hatch for now if you want. Does that do what you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setz Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 I'm still getting my head around the use of line, style and color attributes in Layout. I'm working on finding a workflow that allows me a free and efficient use of attributes in general. I do miss the color palette, it's nice having the colors in a library in the document rather than having to use the OS color picker as a library. I will also need to get used to setting width and style attributes via the context menu and the Set Attributes Tool. I started with a blank sheet, drew a rectangle, selected the Hatch Tool, chose the solid looking one and applied it. I contextual selected attributes and changed the color. The hatch still showed as black. This was because the color I was choosing was for the outline rather than the hatch which is under the Hatch Option from the Attributes pulldown menu. I also noticed that the original rectangle was not an independent object after it had been hatched, to confirm, I selected and deleted the Hatch and the rectangle was gone. I preferred the outline and the hatch being separate objects. It seemed more intuitive. So it does do what I want, just takes a bit of exploration to see how it all works.
