Question
How I can fill a background in rectangle, which is in artboard. I have some nice
shapes inside rectangle and I need that they will stay side by side without color.
Hi Astra,
You first draw a rectangle shape around the area that you want to make the background. Then make sure the fill swatch in your tool bar is in front. NExt choose a swatch from the swatches panel that you want your background to be.
Finally, go to Object>Arrange>Send to Back and it will put the colored background behind everything.
