Editing Fills with the Paint Bucket
You can change the fill of an object with the Paint Bucket tool. The Paint Bucket stores the fill color you’ve set on the Tools panel or in the Property Inspector. You can change the fill color of any existing shape on the Stage by touching down on the shape with this tool. You can also add a fill to any shape that has a closed stroke. After you select the Paint Bucket tool, you can select Paint Bucket sensitivity options located at the bottom of the Tools panel.
Use the Paint Bucket
- Change the Fill color box in either the Property Inspector, the Colors area of the Tools panel, or the Color Mixer.
Click the Paint Bucket tool on the Tools panel.
The pointer becomes a small paint bucket.
Click in the fill of a shape on the Stage.
The fill updates to the new color.
