Set the transparency for a symbol

Summary

Specifying a null color lets you create transparent areas in your symbols. It cannot be used to knock out or block other colors.

Procedure

• Select 'No Color' to change the current color to a null value. This method will not retain the previous color setting.
  
  

  Use the 'No Color' setting located at the top of the color palette.

  
  
  
• To maintain the current color value, and still use a transparent color, check the 'Color is Null' box on the Properties tab of the Color Selector menu.
  

  Use the 'Color is Null' checkbox to maintain the current color values.

  
  
  

  Note:
  You can access the Color Selector menu by clicking More Colors on the color palette.
