Unable to Change Fill Color for Drawn Objects in InDesign

[stefan_9347]

I created an object with the drawing tool (think this is named a "path") in Indesign.
Now I've to change the filling color in this closed path but unfortunately it's not possible?
(Or do I not find it?)

Thankful if someone has an (easy?)  solution for this.
Stefan

You can see the two objects in the idd

Hi @stefan_9347 ,

I cannot see any paths to fill in your InDesign document. Only inserted graphics and some text frames.

Open and expand the Layers panel under layer "Ebene 1" to see what's on the spread:

Did you perhaps copy objects from Adobe Illustrator to InDesign?

Seems thatsomething went wrong when copying and pasting this object. It was not copied from AI but (really) drawn in Indesign.

But many thanks for Your impulse. I copied it now to Illustrator, recolored and copied back - Don't know why but now there are points and a possibility to fill the area with another color ...
????

Thanks a lot
Stefan

Well, that will also happen if you copy the paths from one version of InDesign, let's say InDesign 2023, to a different version of InDesign like e.g. 2024. You'll end up with a "Pasted Graphic" (<eingefügte Grafik>).
