    Hi,

    Would any one know if it is possible to create textures in LO? I am thinking that textures such as gravel, sand, wood, and dirt symbols as traditionally used in CD's could be incorporated in LO using the fill tool as you would select color as a 'fill', but make an option for materials in this same dialog box. Maybe this could be something for the future, but can anyone do this presently? much thanks,

    KEEA

      Mate I have posted a simple workaround to this thread.

      http://forums.sketchucation.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=31373

      In a nutshell:

      1. In layout create your own hatch pattern using the line tool,
      2. Export this page as PNG file so the background is alpha,
      3. Import this to your later LO docs or add to scrapbook and create clipping mask to mask out!

      It would be a great addition IF layout could clip it's own objects ie: A clipping mask could clip an "in document" created hatch - not a perfect senario but pretty darn close!
