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.

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 Duncan,
Thank you for your reply.
This new rules features is extremely cool and powerful, I think this a valid method but it would make every shape hollow, when the idea is to be able to choose.
I still think this a very cool method.
Thanks :D
Look a bit further into the rules, you are able to filter based on a lot of properties. you could set the rule to only work on specific levels, or item types, or line thickness etc etc... there are many ways you could filter this down to achieve what you want without editing any geometry
