Layer Opacity Viewing


Recommended Posts

I have been experimenting with the layer opacity options, and find them to be a very interesting addition to V12. When using them, a warning pops up that the drawing will appear diferently on a Windows machine than my Mac. Can someone please tell me what the difference is? Do things just look a little darker on Windows?

The percentage of opacity isn't supported on Windows. If you create a red circle and blue circle, you have control over how transparent/opaque those circles are. Likewise, the overlapping color is actually purple.

On a PC, the overlapping color is a dark purple/brown and the red and blue circles are just solid red or blue - there's no color variation.

Idle curiosity question(s)

Is that ?Not Supported? for viewing only? That is to say, if created in the Mac version, would the drawing at least print correctly from a Windows platform?

Though ?not supported? would the drawing files ?round trip? with the opacity information in tact ? Mac created -> Windows Edited -> back to Mac again

Just curious??
