Filling in with a color

[Lukerz]

Hey guys

Ive made a simple drawing of a table using FreeHand and was wondering how to colour it in? I'm new to this software and can't find out how to fill it in. Here's the pic:

It looks as though you've drawn the table with a number straight lines. You need to make the drawing from shapes whch can be filled with colour. 1 shape for the top, 1 for each edge, one for each face on the legs etc. You can fill with a solid colour or gradient or even a texture.
What version of Freehand are you using?

Thanks man, that's really helpful

It just says I'm using FreeHand MX, if that's any use to you

MX version introduced a number of changes to the way tools are used - in some cases making previously simple actions rather fiddley and irritating.
