First, let me say I am a new-bee with a very small n.

I've imported a graphic into Draw. Using the eraser tool, I've removed
an area of the graphic I didn't need. Then, using the eyedropper tool 
and paint bucket tool matched & filled the erased area.
Now to my question ...
How do I remove the black line that remains around the erased area ?
How do I lock the graphic together ? When I move the graphic the erased
area stays stationary ... showing white.

Thanks

Sounds like you used the Smart Fill Tool to fill in the hole which creates a 
separate object.. To get rid of the black outline select the object with the 
Pick Tool and then right click on the color swatch that has an X in it at 
the top of the color palette (no outline). To keep the two objects together 
you need to group them together, so select them both ( select one with the 
Pick tool then holding down the Shift key, select the other, then hold down 
the Ctrl key and hit the G key (Group). The Status Bar should say "Group of

2 Objects."

In addition to what Craig wrote, I would recommend keeping the Object
Manager docker open. Then, when you select an object you can see what
you selected. When you group objects, you can see what is grouped.
