Custom shape fill problem in Visio
Good morning,
I have created a custom shape in Visio, using the Combine command, and I want to fill it in with a lined pattern. I've selected my shape, gone into Shape - Fill - Fill Options - and chosen my pattern, but nothing happens when I close this dialog - and the shape isn't filled.
Do you know where I might have gone wrong?
Many thanks,
Julia

Hi Julia,
Thank you for your question and sorry for the delay in responding.
Are you trying to use a pattern in the fill colour box?
What shapes did you use to create the new combined shape as I am aware that certain shapes from certain stencils, when combined together, the fill colour cannot be applied.
Regards
Simon
RE: Custom shape fill problem in Visio
Hi Julia,
I am currently going though the active questions on our support forum and as I didn't hear back from my last post, I was wondering whether you have since resolved this problem.
If two shapes are combined using Shape Operations, the line fill will apply to everything apart from the intersection shape. I chose Pattern 2 and a green colour.
If it hasn't for any reason, can you please email me within the next 5 days otherwise the question will be automatically marked as resolved.
Thank you for your assistance.
Regards
Simon
