TRANSPARENCY — Transparency
Turns the transparent pixels of images on or off.
- Command:
TRANSPARENCY· Global name:_TRANSPARENCY - Ribbon: Insert › Image and tracing
Turns transparency of raster images on or off: with it, the transparent pixels of the file (for example, the background of a PNG) let the objects underneath show through.
Usage
- Enter TRANSPARENCY or click the button.
- Select the images and press Enter.
Select images:
- Choose the mode.
Enter transparency mode [ON/OFF] <OFF>:
Options
- ON (ON): the transparent pixels of the file are shown as transparent.
- OFF (OFF): the image is shown opaque. This is the default.
Notes
- It only affects images whose file has a transparency channel, such as PNG, GIF or WebP.
- The mode is saved in each image, as in AutoCAD.
- To let the whole image show what is underneath, increase its fade with IMAGEADJUST.
- The transparency of objects and layers (0 to 90 %, group code 440) is a different property: it is changed in the PROPERTIES palette, in the layer manager and with CETRANSPARENCY, and shown or hidden with the TRANSP button on the status bar. See Layers and properties.
