Filling with a process foil
Use Process foils, such as CMYK foils to create custom colors. In the Assign Colors dialog box,
there are several choices for Fill Types: Solid, Gradient, Linear and Radial. Once you have
selected one of those Fill Types, there are other attributes that can vary for example color,
position, and palette. For more information on Process foil palettes refer to "Making, Using, and
Editing Palettes." For more specific palette information, like PANTONE and EDGE match refer
to "Assigning PANTONE Colors" and "Choosing a Fill Color that Matches Printer Output."
Choosing a solid process fill
When applying a solid fill to an object using process colors, there are two attributes that must be
assigned to the fill: Palette and Color.
To choose a solid process fill
1 Click Fill to open the Fill tab of the Assign Colors dialog box.
2 Choose Solid in the Fill Type group box.
3 Choose Process in the Color Type group box.
4 Choose a palette in the drop down list.
5 Select a color in the Color group box.
6 Click OK.
Choosing a linear process fill
When using process colors, linear fills create fades in an object dependent on the placement of
the fill. Position places the fill based on a percentage from 1 to 100%. The Linear angle then
applies the angle entered into the box, from –180 to +180 degrees. When using the Linear fade,
the Get Measured Angle button is available. For more information on Get Measured Angle,
refer to "Measuring and Dimensioning." The four attributes that can change when using linear
fill with process colors are: Palette, Color, Position, and Linear Angle.
