Default Fill format doesn't work on shapes created by user

I made a shape using the arcs and lines. The shape is closed. I grouped the
elements and then tried to format the fill. The dialog box for the format
fill function indicates that the fill of the shape is changed to the new
color, however when I look at the shape on the drawing it is still white.

Does anyone know what is wrong?


Have you really grouped the shapes? If so then that may be the
problem. You may be trying to fill the group which probably won't work
as the group is just a container for the other shapes.
