# Painting a Zone with a Solid Swatch

When you have enclosed zones in your drawings, you can start painting them with the color swatches in your palette style. If you change the properties of a swatch, the color properties of the associated zones change as well.

To paint a zone with a solid color:

1. From the Color Palette tab, select the swatch you want to use to paint the zone.

2. Select the Paint or Paint Unpaint tool from the Tools > Drawing Tools menu or from the Drawing Tools toolbar.

3. Click in the enclosed zone in your drawing. If you are using the Paint Unpainted tool, you can drag your pointer through many zones to paint the unpainted zones with the selected color.
