Drawing Shapes with Color

To display shapes with color:

  1. From the Palette context menu, choose MPT Support.
    This displays the MPT check box on the Scope toolbar and the C (Color) column in the Layers panel.
  2. Optionally, select the MPT check box if you want to display only the layer-purpose pairs with color.
  3. Set a layer-purpose pair that has the required color and lock status as active.
    Notice that the icons listed in the C (Color) column for each layer-purpose pair provide color as well as lock information. The swatch displayed in the first column indicates how a shape appears on the canvas.
  4. Draw a shape on the canvas.
    The color and lock state are automatically set for the shape.
