Seanyboy Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Is there going to be any way to fill an object with a bitmap instead of just colour or gradient? I know this is a much used feature in my drawing examples using DrawPlus. I can't see any way of doing this at present!

Dale Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Hi Sean, with the Fill tool selected the Context toolbar has a Type drop-down that includes a Bitmap option, but for non-tiled bitmaps and textures it's probably more flexible to clip bitmaps within vector shapes. Paint the texture/place bitmap on a raster layer then clip it within a vector shape by dragging and dropping the raster layer onto the vector object in the Layers palette. That gives you easy control over the look of the bitmap/texture independently of the vector. HTH, Dale.

Seanyboy Posted June 13, 2014 Author Share Posted June 13, 2014 Ah! Thanks Dale, I had been searching all over the right hand side in the tabs there to see how a texture could be used. Also the help files search brought no text up on the subject - I thought it odd that a texture couldn't be used! Just used it and it's just what I would wish for the way I go about my work.
