FAQ: Why Aren't the Transparent Symbols in My ArcIMS Layer Displayed Correctly in ArcMap?

ArcIMS symbology has a transparency property that allows you to specify the percentage of transparency. ArcMap supports transparency at the layer level, but not at the symbol level.

These tags have a transparency attribute:

· RASTERMARKERSYMBOL
· RASTERSHIELDSSYMBOL
· SHIELDSYMBOL
