Transparency Ribbon slider bug

ВeekeeCZ — Wed, 07 Aug 2024 16:41:52 GMT

Seems like ever since bug.

Create two objects, select both, and unselect one of them. Then, use the Ribbon slider to adjust the Transparency. Transparency is adjusted to both. Oh boy, this tool does not respect this fundamental command.

I have 2025 and 2020; both suffer the same.

Known issue?

Setting by the Properties Palette seems working as expected.

It does the same in 2024 as well. I guess you can adjust the Transparency per item via the Properties palette. Not a solution but a work around.

Are both of your objects on the same layer?

That slider controls transparency for all objects on the layer.

If you want transparency to be on an object-by-object basis, it might better to use Props Palette (or put objects on separate layers).

Hi,

oh no, this properties Panel in Start tab is not for layer properties, these are current settings or object properties, depending on selected objects or not.

@ChicagoLooper

This is not what I'm experiencing. Thanks for your input, though.

@ВeekeeCZ

Are the two objects on the same layer or not?

@ChicagoLooper

The issue is replicable regardless of the layers of any of those two objects.

Another problem is that the slider saves an undo state for each increment that it passes. This is a problem when trying to undo the command/s.

Known issue?

Similar to your other post(s) about 2025 issues, you need to install 2024 versions of AutoCAD/C3D, if you find no issues there (I suspect you will not), then open a support case with Autodesk if you are on subscription to seek out Autodesk Support's help about your 2025s:

>>"(I suspect you will not)"

Why not, this issue is years old, over one decade (perhaps, since the slider was added).
