hi everyone ;D
i need some help i have made up my own custom shapes in my own stencil,i have imported these from autocad,these are 2d office furniture cad blocks the problem that i have is when i space plan an office the customer sometimes uses existing furniture of which i add to the drawing so they can identify what's new and what's been taken to the new office, but when i try to change the colour (fill) of the shape nothing happens i have tried everything to get it to change,has anyone had this problem and have they found a solution ???
thanks

I haven't imported too much from Autocad, but I think the problem might be the shapes are not "connected". That is, what looks like a rectange is really 4 separate lines. To get a fill, these lines must be joined. Assuming that the line end points overlay (lap) each other, then go to Shape > operations > Join. This should allow you to apply a fill color.
The other issue to be aware of is grouping. A "group" shape won't take a fill, you need to double click to select a sub-roup shape and apply the fill to the selected shape.
