Visio 2007 "Angle Center" shape - Difficult problem - help!

[Tom]

Hello,

I'm creating a visio diagram of an arc to show a radar beam. This is
a simple 2D diagram. The radar beam appears as a cone, circular at
the wide end, which is fine, but I think because this is not a closed
object I'm not able to figure out how to use the fill tool to provide
shading.

I have seen someone do this before, when the angle is changed, the
fill pattern stays within lines.

So basically, I'm trying to make the "angle center" shape that draws
the angle, but inside the cone appearing as if it's filled or
shaded.

Can someone please explain how this is done?

Thanks.

That shape certainly isn't a closed shape.
Look for the shape "Sector - graphical".
