Why for example, when the line tool is used to create an object shape (with object drawing off), is the shape unable to be filled? I’ve tried re-creating the shape from scratch and sometimes it will fill but then it won’t. I make sure snap to is on in case the shape isn’t completely joined doens’t seem to make any difference.
