Won't fill with color

Post by beckyv »

My design won't fill with color. I've read all the troubleshooting prior but don't think mine is the same issue. I went ahead and added just a square from the scal4 program and it won't fill with color either. I've never had this trouble before. Anybody have any ideas what is my problem? Thanks for all the assistance.

Here are the reasons why you may not be seeing a Fill color:

(1) Document Panel: you have Show outlines only marked

(2) Document Panel: you have Workspace Alpha set to 0 instead of 100

(3) The shapes are not fully closed shapes. Add a basic closed shape from the Library to verify you see color in it.

(4) Fill & Stroke Panel: Select a shape and see if the Fill color is set to None or the color box is the same as the Page color you have set.

(5) Fill & Stroke Panel: Select a shape and see if the Opacity is set to 0 instead of 100

Hopefully one of these is the cause. Usually, it's (1).
