These pocket drawings use a standard line style (left), an enhanced line style with low
pattern-width settings (center), and an enhanced line style with higher pattern-width
settings (right). The fill is always contained within the object’s path, not the object’s outline.
Other settings
The outline created by a standard or enhanced line style can appear in front of or behind a fill. For example, you may want an outline to
appear behind a fill to line up the outline with the outer edge of the fill. You can also link the outline thickness to an object’s size so that the
outline increases when you increase the object’s size and decreases when you decrease the object’s size. In addition, you can set the outline
to print on top of underlying colors, without removing them during printing.
In the drawing on the left, the outline is in front of the fill. Because the outline width is centered on the
object’s path, the outline covers part of the object’s fill. In the drawing on the right, the outline width is the
same, but the outline has been moved behind the fill and therefore lines up with the outer edge of the object.
