Graduated Line Transparency?

[Lawuy Cuff]

Thanks Scotty. I already had that one figured out, but I was trying to avoid having to re-object-ize the line every time I edited the original object or wanted to resize the outline.

That being said, I just figured out how to do what I want. I post it here in case somebody else has a need (and I can't believe what a simple solution this is): Select the object, give it the desired outline, **Group It** (CTRL-G), give it the desired transparency. Voila... Mission accomplished. Crazy, huh?

I often group objects or an object to apply a different effect. I'll give something a transparency filter like Fractal Clouds, then I'll group it, and give it a further linear transparency. You normally cannot give an object two different transparent effects. You can, if you group it, but only once.

Actually you can do this more than once, just group your group with an object that is 100% transparent. But you should try not to do this too many times or your group becomes very complex and can cause problems.
