Please let me know.

I think you may be referring to SPB Fill.

I would start by drawing the outer shape (big rectangle with cuvred corners) as a single polyline. Once this is drawn I would draw each of the four interior rectangles as polylines too.

After all 5 polylines are drawn I would make the interior ones into voids of the outer. Then simply go to Hatch, SPB Fills and select the outer polyline.

Let me know if I need to clarify anything.

Make the inner polylines voids of the outer one. Eh, Tony beat me to it.

thanks everyone for making this forum a great place to get help.

I think this is 1000000000000% better than some other programs tech support which will tell you to press #, 0,2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 100....
