    Default Compound paths not transparent...

    I've run into this before. I'm trying to make a compound path of several stroked paths that include enclosed shapes of which I want the background to show through. I've tried reversing the path directions in the Attributes pallete to no avail. Any other ideas? Search is not working for me now.

    TIA

    Default Re: Compound paths not transparent...

    Answered my own question. Selecting the paths one at a time (instead of all paths at once) and then making a compound path after each selection seemed to solve the problem.
