Adding a fill pattern to a symbol in a diagram

When you add a fill pattern to a symbol, the pattern is applied inside the symbol or, if the symbol has a frame, inside the frame.

To add a fill pattern to a symbol in a diagram:

1.Select the symbol.

2.Choose Effect>Fill Pattern, then select a pattern.

To prevent the fill pattern from running behind the text, make the text background white. See Applying a white background to symbol text.
