Transparent boxes

Post by Klaus Yde » 27 Jan 2018 10:00

Is there a way to make all boxes transparent so a background picture can be seen also inside the boxes? I have tried to mark the boxes with an X in the no fill box - but then the boxes get dak grey inside.

Kind regards

Hi Klaus.
I guess you are using Diagram > Options > Boxes > Box Type, and in Edit Features for each tab, ticking No Fill.
What you are seeing is the grey Box Shadow, which could be removed by selecting <no shadow> but read on...

If you want all boxes transparent, then you don't need the Condition for Box Type with different features for each type.

So click the Presets option bottom right and choose No Box.
Then for the Condition of <Default> click Edit Features and under Box Shape choose the shape you prefer.
