About transparency

In Edraw, you can make shapes, lines, fills, and shadows transparent so that you can see through them. You can vary the percentage of transparency of Edraw objects from 0 (fully opaque, the default) to 100% (fully transparent).

You can do this most easily in the Formatting shapes dialog box, which you open by clicking the Fill & Shadow on the Shape menu.

Note By setting the transparency of all aspects of shapes (text block, lines, fills, and shadows) to 100%, you can make both open and closed shapes completely transparent.
