Using the Transparency command
Transparency creates a new path from the area common to two or more closed paths containing Basic fills. This command uses the color information from the fills of the original paths and creates an intermediate color giving the appearance of transparency.
You can also create transparency effects using lens fills. For more information, see Applying lens fills.
To apply the Transparency command to selected paths:
