DMadonia Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 I just upgraded from to 2016 and in my current plot all symbols are about 50% opaque. I've checked all (known) controls and everything shows current opacity to be at 100%. When I grey out the layer the opacity is cut in half as is expected. When I print, the symbols are still opaque. I've also checked other plots created in 2015 and they are all fine. There's got to be something I'm missing. Quote Link to comment

DMadonia Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 That's the interesting part. In a new file the symbols appear correctly. It's only in the one file do they appear opaque. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee PVA - Admin Posted September 23, 2015 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted September 23, 2015 That normally means the default opacity in the other document you are using is 50%. With no objects selected, in the attributes palette, change the opacity to 0% then back to 100%, then place new objects and see how they behave. Sometimes you just have to activate the Symbol insertion tool and then with no objects selected do the same, if somehow that became the saved default for the tool. Quote Link to comment
