    Default Creating an outline of a shape

    Hi,

    I'm sure that I'm missing something fairly obvious here.

    Is there an easy way to create a rectangle but just have the outline of the rectangle and not a solid colour?

    I don't want a rectangle box with a solid colour inside. I want the box to be "hollow" and just the frame of the outline visible.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Peter.

    Draw rectangle
    Right click on a colour from the Colour Line and select Set Line Colour
    Choose the line width from the drop down menu at the top of the program.
    Right click on the clear colour (cross hash square on the left of the colour line) and select Clear Fill Colour

    It is simple although this makes it look not so. At any rate this is one way to do it.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
