<p>Hi Patrick,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>You need to change your preferences.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Open preferences dialog and select 'editing' and/or 'symbology' and/or
'view' nodes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Adjust the opacity to suit your preferences. Restart gvSIG to see the
results. If you don't nothing will happen.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>I have reduced opacity for selection color, reference axis color, selection
handle color on the editing tab; default color on the symbology tab, and;
default selection color and opacity on the view nodes. <o:p></o:p></p>

Hi folks,<br>
<br>
I have run into a snag, this time in relation to database development. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
To digitize a farm and all its camps it is useful to digitize the outer<br>
<br>
boundary as a polygon and then split it into its component camps. This<br>
<br>
ensures that overlapping 'doesn't occur' when you are working with shape<br>
<br>
files.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, when you digitize polygons they are given a solid fill so that you<br>
<br>
cannot see boundaries underneath. Does anyone know how to change the fill<br>
<br>
pattern while digitizing? The 'normal' method (through the layer properties)<br>
<br>
does not seem to have an effect.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Patrick<br>
