Fill Style

Each template and drawing has its own set of fill styles. You can also create, edit, and delete fill styles. When you choose a different style from the list, the style will only be applied to new entities that are drawn.

• Click the Fill Style Indicator to set the current fill style for new entities.

• Right click Change Properities to change just the fill style of existing entities.

Solid and Hollow (Brush Pattern fill styles) are by far the most commonly used.

To change the fill style of an individual entity, use.Properties Edit To change the fill style of a collection of entities already drawn, use the CHANGE-FILL STYLE

CC3 provides four types of Fill Styles:

Brush Pattern

Brush pattern fill patterns are fill patterns composed of a repeating 8x8 matrix of pixels. Brush patterns are drawn in the selected CC3 color.

Bitmap

Bitmap (BMP) and PNG files can be used as a fill pattern. A single image can comprise the entire fill, or smaller bitmap images can be tiled to produce a repeating effect. The tiles can be scaled, and include transparency.

Symbol

Symbol fills provide a means of arraying CC3 drawing entities as a fill pattern. This type of fill provides great flexibility in design since anything you draw in CC3 can be turned into a symbol fill.

These are used only if you have a pen plotter.

Note

Options to select and edit these fill styles appear on a single dialog box. Across the top of the dialog box are four "tabs", each corresponding to a "page" displaying options for each type of fill style. Make page selections by simply clicking on the appropriate tab.
