Painting Drawings
T-HFND-004-011
The main tool you will use to paint your drawings with is the Paint tool. The Paint tool can be used in several different modes, which can be customized in the Tool Properties view.
The Paint tool paints closed zones, including brush strokes and pencil lines. If there are gaps in the lines defining a zone, you must close them using the Brush, Pencil, or Close Gap tools or the Automatic Close Gap option.
How to paint drawings

- Do one of the following:
- In the Tools toolbar, click the Paint
tool.
- Press Alt + I.
In the Tool Properties view or Tools toolbar, you can select additional painting modes.
- The Paint
- The Paint Unpainted
mode paints only empty zones. Any line or filled zone will remain unchanged.
- The Repaint
