Why am I unable to print transparent objects as transparent?

This looks good!

What shade plot did you use? 

I still haven't been able to get the glass objects to plot as transparent.

As I speculated in my first post, I don't think AutoCAD can produce a straight vector rendering with transparencies.  I think it is up to the CAD operator to mimic the effect via compositing various views/geometries/transparencies/layering.  As a example of overlaying transparencies, see attached.  I'm not sure How AutoCAD 2015's PDF plotter handles transparencies - 2016 work well with them.

I am unable to open your dwg, Alfred.NESWADBA,

since my version of Autocad is 2015- older than yours.

Also, I am able to make objects as transparent as i like in the model space as well as in the viewports, but they do not show up with the same transparencies when I plot them. That's where the problem is- plotting transparent objects.
