Choosing fill and line settings for vector shapes
You can use either controls in the Vector Shape window or Lingo to choose a vector shape's fill color, line width and color, and background color. The background is the area outside of a vector shape but within the cast member's bounding rectangle.
Because a vector shape is a single object, you don't need to select any part of the vector shape to make the following changes.
To choose the fill and line settings:
1 |
Open a vector shape in the Vector Shape window. |
2 |
Choose fill and line settings using the appropriate controls at the left of the window.

To set the background color, choose a color from the Background Color menu. Choosing a background color that matches the color of the background results in better performance than using Background Transparent ink. |
