Displays the active settings for a fill.

Style

Lists and applies the available styles. To define a new fill style, you can type a name in the box. The new style uses the current settings on the ribbon.

Line Color Pattern Color

Applies a pattern line color for pattern fills. If you select none (the cross-hatched area at the bottom-right of the grid), the background will be transparent. Filled elements cover other elements when they overlap. You can select More to define custom colors with the Colors Dialog.

Solid Color Solid Color

Applies a system color to set the background color for the fill. If you select none (the cross-hatched area at the bottom-right of the grid), the pattern will be transparent. Filled elements cover other elements when they overlap. You can select More to define custom colors with the Colors dialog.

SHARED Tip The blank fill color (the cross hatched area at the bottom-right of the color-picker grid for both the Pattern Color and the Solid Color) takes on the background color of the document. This is useful for creating symbols that can cover an element on which the symbol is placed. Incorporating a fill with blank color into the symbol allows the symbol, when placed, to mask out elements such as lines or connectors that intersect the symbol.

Redo Fill Redo Fill

Re-applies a fill to a filled area when the boundary changes. A fill can become disabled, and change color, if you modify its boundary by drawing another element or moving part of the existing boundary. If you select Redo Fill, the area surrounding the fill handle is filled again.

Line Width Line Width

Sets the line width.

Angle

Sets the angle of the fill in the active unit. Zero degrees is horizontal to the X axis, and the angle (A) increases in a counterclockwise direction with zero on the positive side (B) of the X axis. If you type a negative value, the software displays the equivalent positive value.

Spacing

Sets the spacing between the pattern lines.
