A draw object has a line-pattern and width, and, for solid objects, a fill-pattern. By default these are solid line, 1 point in width, and solid color, respectively. You can change these styles for one or more objects, as well as changing the default setting.
Select the object or objects (see Selecting multiple objects for more details).
Right-click and select Properties.
Select the Style tab.
As an alternative to steps 2 and 3, select the Style command from the Format menu.
Next, choose from the following:
Select Brush Style to see the range of available fill patterns. This sets the pattern of the interior of the object. If you want a simple color (the default) select Solid. If you want the shape to be transparent, select None.
Select Pen Style to see the range of available line styles. This sets the style for the outline of the shape. If you don’t want an outline to appear around a shape, select None.
To change the default settings for new objects, make sure no objects are selected (to do this, click in a blank area of the drawing), right-click and select Defaults from the shortcut menu. Follow the instructions for pen and brush style as above.
