Becky: I have to eat a little crow here. Everything I told you works except that it will not vector on my machine and maybe not on yours. The lines are fine enough and if you are engraving this is a good solution but if you need to vector something with that cross hatch it may not work.

Mike- Thanks for your honesty. I will give it a try and let you know what happens. It's not going to be the end of the world if I can't figure this out. LOL Becky

OMG!!! I just tried the technique you recommended, although I haven't tested the substrate yet. My goodness!! This is a whole new thing on Corel I didn't discover yet. (make it 4,987 on the list of things I didn't know about this program. LOL) Anyway, at this point I wouldn't mind at all if this didn't actually work...discover the PostScript fill was good enough for me!!! LOL Thanks so much!! Becky

Becky:
Very glad it worked for you. It's a neat feature and it's kind of hidden away so not many people have found it.

We used it to create background for molds for spuncast medals.

Just a bit of an update here. I put the question of color filling a post script fill on the Corel forum and Foster Coburn responded saying that at present it is not possible. He said he is working on a macro which may permit it. Late breaking news! We don't have a corner on bright helpful people on EEO. The people at the Corel forum came up with a work around that's too easy. Just do the drawing as indicated previously. Save it as a PDF and import it as curves. You can change it to any color you want. You can also change each line thickness if you like. Mike Dist. of Lazer Cutting Grid www.stl-laser.com
