Looks great to me, really like the "Get Object Attributes" shortcut.
Do the check boxes mean no more nil selections in pallettes?
Sneak peak? Feels like a teaser to me!
Can't wait to see what 7 will be like.

Nothing like it at all. In fact, I can't think of any two things that are more opposite!

Yes, see through.
The words are somehow just plain wrong. I asked my wife to buy a negligee with opacity. She didn’t know what I was talking about and came home with the wrong thing.  Then I asked her to buy one with a specific transparency value. There is no telling what she will bring home this time.  I may never understand why ‘see through’ which everyone understands can’t be used.

Mr. Easter
We are working diligently to accommodate those needing to commit funds in calendar year 2005 for tax reasons. At present it appears that we will be successful. You will need to call ES.
Thanks for your comments. Everyone have a good thanksgiving.

Opcaity vs Transparency
I've always thought of opacity as making something darker, making what's underneath less visible. And transparency the oposite, revealing what's underneath. Otherwise I don't really see what the difference is in computer graphics.
opacity |ə(ʊ)ˌpasɪti| noun the condition of lacking transparency or translucence; opaqueness : thinner paints need black added to increase opacity.
transparency |tranˌspar(ə)nsi| |trɑːn-| |-ˌspɛː-| noun ( pl. -cies) 1 the condition of being transparent : the transparency of ice.
Whatever it is in PowerCADD 7 it looks like something I want.

Am I reading this right, you're taking orders now and will deliver by Christmas?
I'm taking 2 weeks off, that would be a nice time to play with PowerCADD 7.
