live paint pop up message for clipping paths

Does the DXF artwork contain closed paths? Very often DXF or DWG files I receive are saved from applications like AutoCAD. The files contain artwork that consists of many open path line segments that cannot be filled. In order to create a version of the artwork that has color fills the artwork often must be re-created with closed paths using the original artwork as a guide.

Do you need to do this with Live Paint?

You can select objects with the Selection or Direct Selection tools and use the Color or Swatches Panel to change the color.
