When you draw a shape, it's always filled. How can you change this?

All shapes in Layout have default display settings that can be changed from the Shape Style dialog box. These settings include colors, fills, lines, strokes, and line types. If, for example, you want to create a circle without a fill, you could follow these steps:
  1. Choose the "Circle" tool.
  2. Create a circle in your document.
  3. Click the "Select" tool.
  4. Click the circle you created.
  5. Click the "Shape Style" dialog box. Click here if the dialog box is closed.
  6. Clear the "Fill" option.
You can experiment with other display settings such as color, line color, line type, line thickness, and opacity. If you change the settings in the Shape Style dialog box before you start drawing, the settings will be applied to any new shapes you draw. These display settings are reset every time you launch Layout.
