Fill Problems

[wizard509]

Rhone your image appears to have a linear transparency so remove the transparency and set the fill to flat.

[wizard509]

also remove the line if you prefer.

yes I agree with Larry that's a linear fill

do what acorn suggested - untick Give new objects most recent attributes. and set fill to flat fill and transparency to none

that will give you manual control over the fill [and other] attributes

true it could be a linear transparency rather than linear fill - but either way, what acorn suggested should fix it...

[Rhone]

I am using Version 2.0e Dec 1 2005. Fill is set to flat fill, and transparency to none. Ive tried with Give new objects most recent attributes ticked and unticked, same thing happens either way. If I open a new file and use the shape editor to make a circular or odd shaped object, such as the previous attached file, everything works OK, and I can copy it to the file I'm working on and it remains OK, but I cannot seem to consistently completely fill the object directly in the file that I'm working on.

[handrawn]

gary suggested [saving and then] closing the file you have the problem with and then opening it again - did you try that ? - assuming you have done what acorn suggested in that file as well, it should

if not then maybe it is something else, but if so then what, puzzles me

[wizard509]

Maybe restarting your computer would help sometimes it does, I could be mistake it could be either linear fill or linear transparency.

Problem solved. It seems that there is more than one way to set something to flat. Anyway that was the problem. Thanks to everyone who offered help.
