To fill one or several areas in the graphic document with a color, use the Fill command .

Step-by-step instructions

1.Set the fill boundaries. To do this, specify a point inside the area that you want to fill. The system will automatically determine the possible boundaries within which the point is indicated.

This method can be used to set a region both in the current view and in a view that is not current. In the latter case, the view automatically becomes current.

The fill area may consist of one or more closed circuits, including those not connected to each other. All the contours should belong to the same view.

•To prevent the fill color from changing when you select it, enable the option Always show the fill with the set color in the dialog. Edit. When you select a fill, only its outline will be highlighted.

•All fill areas created during construction are a single object, even if they are non-adjacent. Editing commands, delete, etc. apply to the whole object.
