Overlapping curve and fill issue

[RGreen]

With the Pen tool, go ahead and create a 5-sided star (see star_empty_center.png). You see the pentagon in the center being empty. What I want is for the center to be filled (see star_filled_center.png).

=>

My current "workaround":

1. duplicate the (star) shape
2. select both shapes and apply boolean "Divide" to segregate the 5 triangles
3. with Node Tool: for each triangle, break and remove the line that belongs to the pentagon
4. select all triangles and apply "Join curves"

It's cumbersome, but it works. My question: is there any simple way / an option to tell AD (before or after drawing the curve) to fill any overlapping areas to make it look solid ?

With the pen tool selected, click Layer>Fill Mode>Winding (Non-Zero) you should then be able to draw the star without issue

great, thx for the quick support: works as expected!
