MS Paint–style fill/highlight tool (non-quantity, fast visual fill of closed areas) available in Core as a markup tool, separate from Dynamic Fill. Save time over polygon point and click for highlighting areas.
@William Pajak, care to elaborate?
For coordination, I found the need to highlight areas of irregular shapes, to do so accurately would require the polygon tool and several points. I was reminded of the MS Paint bucket tool which fills a closed shape with one click. Similar to the dynamic fill tool, but without measurement needs.
For a shape option, have you tried using ellipse, square, poly- then making the fill color yellow with a highlight attribute?
For the "pen-style" I have found using the Highlighter tool but starting my click-drag away from any text and it seems to work for me.
When you pick what you want Dynamic Fill to report, one of the choices is a polygon. You still have to elect a fill color after, but it does what you're asking for.
the only place Revu does that is filling in Cutout with another Area markup.
Might not be possible in Revu given how bad CAD drawing are these days. There's usually a gap in a line somewhere (thus the spillage when using Dynamic Fill)
Something you might try is to create Spaces. You're still picking points but it will fill in. From there, place an area markup inside the Space and select Snap to Space or create Area from Space. It will fill to the Space
Some great responses so far, but all are missing that @William Pajak's request is for additional functionallity at the "Core" subscription level. Dynamic fill is currently only available in Complete. If I'm reading his request correctly he's requesting a lower grade dynamic fill tool that doesn't support the measurement functionality…
Hope this helps. 😎
@David Cutler That's exactly my request. A tool to quickly fill shapes on drawings without the need for measurements that are available in the dynamic fill. I've used all the options noted, highlighting by pen tool, shapes, and the like. But the thought of the old MS Paint bucket jumped in my mind as being a useful tool.
