Use the Tools panel to apply different stroke
and fill colors
Earlier in the tutorial, you used the Stroke and Fill inspectors to determine the
colors of your objects. You’ll now use the Stroke and Fill color boxes in the Tools
panel to select colors for the polygons you’re about to draw.
As you work on a FreeHand file, you can take colors that you’ve mixed, or colors
that you use frequently, and add them to a list of swatches that save with the
document. Later in the tutorial you will mix and add a color to your swatches.
Now, however, you will work with colors already included in your list of swatches.
1 In the Tools panel, click the Stroke color box to view the color palette.
2 If None is not selected in the Stroke Type pop-up menu, click the None button.
The shape that you’re about to draw will not need a stroke color.
3 In the Tools panel, click the Fill color box to view the color palette.
