Transparent fills

[Ted Walsh]

Having the ability to regulate the degree of transparency of fill colours would be useful especially when drawing over maps. (I use this all the time in ArcGIS)

Ted, unfortunately the FILLS are part of the OS and cannot be made tranparent. On the other hand HATCHES can be made transparent quite easily by unchecking the "background fill" box. Additionally, new in version 12 (Mac OS only!) is the ability to adjust the transparency of an entire layer, which would be very useful for this purpose.

Peter, thanks. I use an iMac in preference to my Dell which I need for ArcGIS so the layer transparency will be very useful.
