Add more colors to a multi-stage fill

Applies to Linear, Circular, Elliptical, Conical and Diamond fills. Multi-stage fills let you have several different colors in your fill. So, a fill could run red-green-red yellow. You have full control over the colors used and where the colors change.

To add more colors to a multi-stage fill

This is the same as creating a multi-stage fill:

1. Select the object (see Selecting objects).

2. Choose the Fill Tool - this displays the Fill arrow.

3. Drag-and-drop colors from the Color Line or Color Gallery onto the Fill arrow (see Notes.)

Notes:

Conical fills have a semicircular Fill arrow. Other fill types have straight Fill arrows. Always drag-and-drop colors onto the arrow.

Elliptical and Diamond fills have a pair of Fill arrows. You can apply colors to only one of these arrows. (The arrow that was horizontal when you created the fill - this is the "primary" arrow.)

The Selector Tool can also display the Fill arrow. See Enabling fill handles.
