Applying linear transparency

Linear transparency is one of the types of transparency you can use.

To apply linear transparency

1. Select the object (see Selecting objects).

2. Choose the Transparency Tool

3. Drag from where you want the linear transparency to start to where you want it to end. During the drag a transparency arrow shows you the start and end of the linear transparency.

4. If you want a repeating transparency pattern (like bars), select Repeating from the Transparency Tiling drop-down list

Tips

This method does not work if the object already has a (non-linear) transparency applied. In this case, choose Linear from the Transparency Shape drop-down list on the Transparency Tool Infobar.

You can later move the start and end points and change the transparency of the two points - see Changing linear transparency for details.
