pencil tool lines without fill
pencil tool lines without fill
(OP)
I need to add lines to a graphic. When I make lines with the pencil tool, the spaces created are filled and swatches gives me no option but to add a color. There's no "nothing" option. How can I make lines without adding fill?
Help appreciated.

...can you double click the pencil tool and deselect "fill new pencil strokes"?

...also for future reference on no fills and no strokes...
...the "nothing" option in illustrator is the swatch with the diagonal red line through it (on a white background), top left of swatches palette...

...sorry, just realised you were referring to indesign and not illustrator, so indesign pencil tool will be different...
...in the indesign object styles palette what object style is selected before you use the pencil tool?

...also are you drawing with the pencil tool in indesign with a fill and stroke color already active in the swatches palette before using the pencil tool?

If I move the graphic I'm working on into another document that already has a complete swatches palette, when I select anythng in this graphic, the options in the swatches palette disappear.
I have no object styles in that palette.
I have, now, been able to create some lines without fill--not sure why-- but I can't make the lines "paper" as I would like.

Then you need to 'show options' with the flyout menu in that panel.

Not sure if this was/is your issue as well but thought I'd throw my 2¢ in. :)
