Transparency

[Ron Duke]

I remember being able to do multiple transparencies on one object simply by grouping the object after each transparency applied. However, I've recently discovered that Xara Pro only allows me to do this once, that is, it limits me to two applied transparencies. Has something changed?

Hi Ron

to apply a third transparency you need to make a new group

so group the second transparency group - with a new object with no fill and no outline - then you can apply the third transparency to this new group

and carry on this way.....

hope that makes sense....

Ok,
That works. I don't remember having to do that before. Just a brain fart, I guess.

pretty sure its always been that way, since the feature was introduced

stop using a feature for a while and you forget - happens to us all..
