You can use the Polyline Fill tab of the Mimic Properties window to define the default settings for the fill area of shapes that are drawn on Mimics (the fill area is the area within the edges of the shape). This is useful when you know that many different shapes, with the same types of fill, need to be added to a Mimic. Rather than configure the fill area for each shape separately, you can define the default settings for the fill area of every shape. After doing this, each shape that you add will already have the default settings in place. You can make further adjustments to each shape by configuring its own settings separately if required.
Depending on the method that you use to display the Mimic Properties window, the settings you define will be applied to:
- New Mimics on your client PC (if you access the Mimic Properties window via the Options window—see Defining the Default Mimic Properties for New Mimics).
- A specific Mimic (if you access the Mimic Properties window via the Properties option or command on a Mimic—see Defining the Default Mimic Properties for a Specific Mimic).
When you have displayed the Mimic Properties window using the appropriate method for your needs, define the Polyline Fill settings as required. The various PolyLine Fill settings work in the same way as the similarly named settings on the Fill tab of the Polyline Properties window (see Editing a Shape).
