Your freehand shapes are probably not closed. To close them, use the Translate Points tool to drag one endpoint on top of the other, and press the spacebar to weld them together,
Or, when you first draw freehand shapes, make sure that the "Auto close" box is checked.

I've had the same problem once, and I suppose it's some kind of bug. Using the "auto-close" option always works for me, but sometime the shape closes anyway, but cant be filled. I solved it by removing a connection and then adding it.

Post your file on the web (or send it to
