Unable to path to poly
Hellow everyone :)
Once again, i have to turn to you guys for help.
I'm working on a map (still the same) and realized all my landmasses were outlines and not shapes with filling. So, when i try to change the fill style, it changes the look of the outline and not of the "inside".
Had to stop working on the map for a few month so i can't really remember how it all began, but as far as i remember, everything was drawn with Polygon tool (or the Fractalized polygon one) and later re-fractalized to better suit my needs.
I seem to remember i already ran into that problem long ago and that the solution was to :
1) ungroup everything -- So i went to Tools menu - Groups - Ungroup - click one of my landmasses (at the bottom of the windows it says "select entities (2 picked)" yet i only had to click once to select the whole outline of the landmass) - right click -- Do it
2) make sure everything is connected -- Right click on fractalize tool - Combine paths - Select first path (i click on my landmass outline and everything is selected at once) - Select second path... When i don't have a second path to select so i assume everything is connected, and i can skip this step...
3) make sure everything is a path -- Right click on fractalize tool - Line to path - Select entities (i click on my landmass outline again, everything is selected again, and at the bottom it says i have picked 2 entities, again) - right click - Do it
4) transform the path into a polygon -- Right click on fractalize tool - Path to poly - Select entities (same as before) - right click - Do it
Yet, after all this, my path is still not a poly and when i change the fill style, it still affects only the outline...
I'm prolly missing a step in there, and if anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be lovely.
I've included the map in the message, in case there's something a bit more specific :)
Thanks a ton, guys

At first I couldn't see what the problem was because I had an entire map of red Xs.
Looking at it sheet by sheet I found what I think is your landmass on the Terres - Principal sheet. Is that the one you are having trouble with?
The polygons on this sheet had a line width greater than zero. If you use Change Properties to set the line width to zero the interior will fill. Here I have also set the fill to solid and black.
If you want this file it's here:
To change the landmasses to your desired fill, just hide the rest of the sheets as I did and use Change Properties on the whole lot.
