Mapping Enhancement - Separate Opacity Setting for Polygons

Could you please add a second/separate opacity setting for polygons?  Many times I'd like to have a solid border around a trade area, but with about a 50% opacity setting for the fill.

 

Thanks!

Hey Andy,

 

I agree!  This would be a great option to have by default in the polygon style menu.

 

I've used a workaround in some workflows by adding the polygon layer twice.  For one instance, I turn the opacity down to my desired level, then place the second instance of the layer 'above' the first, turning off the fill, leaving opacity at 100, so my outline appears solid on top of the opaque lower layer.

I do the same thing.  Great minds think alike - sometimes. Man Happy
