Hi
I am currently making a map using Corel Draw. The idea is to define lihological unit boundaries using the freehand tool overlain a imported topographic bitmap and filling in with a transparent color.
However, there are some issues filling in the areas between the lines as the smartfill seems to define an area by different parameters than what my intuition dictates.Point is, instead of filling in one area bounded by the freehand tool it will fill two or more, apparently depending on how the last line was drawn. There seems to be some underlying rules that I do not grasp.
For a while I Blamed it on not properly joining lines, but "view wireframe" and "join curves" seem to suggest otherwise.
Wisdom and suggestions would be much appreciated.
RegardsEK
PS. Would have liked to upload the file, perhaps minus the bitmap for size, but there seems to be no intuitive way to attach a file.

Possibly an inserted cdr file to illustrate the problem.
You're welcome...
Select all the lines. (I made them 1mm so I could see them better zoomed out.)
Click on the proxy for no fill.
Now try the smart fill tool.
