Hello good MS community,
Here's a question taht I've been trying to figure out, or maybe know if you're able to do it.
When you place a filled shape, such as rectangle or circle, you always get it filled, even when you're selectiong tyhe Fill Type: None.
Is there a way to just make the rectangle or the circle without any solid filled pattern?
Regards
If you place a rectangle or circle they are shapes not lines so when the display style is set to anything other than wireframe (illustration or smooth) they will be rendered as a shape which have a color.
Fore reference see the image below:
In the above image the Display style is set to Illustration. The elements on the left are the circle and shape which will look filled. The Elements on the right are an arc and linestring.

Thank you David,
I was thinking suspecting the same, but I wanted to be sure.
I even found on this wiki that you just simple cannot make them hollow.

You can even have more display options, to make display style override per each elements, so you can have each element display as you need.

Isn't that what I said, in less word to boot?

Raphael,
Whilst unfortunately the display style setting for hidden edges only works with 3D elements you could make a workaround using a display rule.
Hello Jose,
Thank you for your reply.
I was aware of that fix, and I agree that is a very powerful and unique MS feature. The problem is that I would have to overirde each element one by one, when the Idea is to be able to place hollow shapes directly.
