Fills+window background

[Anonymous]

Hi I'm having a little issue with fills.

The attached image shows two fills side by side,
- both are 25% Pen 1 (Black)
- Left is set to window background colour, Right has the background set to a white pen.


Obviously the background of the window is white - so any ideas why the fills look so different? (did I miss an override somewhere?)


Thanks!

Sure, good idea. Here it is:

Your fill tool has a '-2' pen set for the background default pen.
I don't know where a '-2' pen comes from.
But if you set your default fill tool to the background pen colour (-1) then all future fills will be fine.
Any existing fills you will have to amend as well.

I am thinking that those Fills might have come from a DWG/DXF file because there are RGB pens in AutoCAD.
But it is still strange to see -2 as background pen, I have never seen anything like it before so I will report this to GS, there may be something going on here.
