1.	First,We'll need a new document. You can access Menu File → New or You can use the shorcut key by pressing CTRL+N to start a new drawing. Just remember that the text inside the bracket is the shortcut key for the command.
2.	Make a shape, any shape You like.This time I will make a rectangular shape using Rectangle Tool (F6). To make proportional shape, hold down CTRL while dragging. Give color to the rectangle.To colored the shape, just left click the color on Color Palletes Docker, it's in the right side of your screen for default. I'll give the color Red, and the outline is 2mm thickness, so when We apply the transparency It will have visible look. You can change these in Property Bar.   The 74.762mm is the dimensions of the rectangle. 2.00mm is the thickness of the rectangle line.
3.	Now We will use the Transparency Tools. Access the tools by clicking on Interactive Transparency Tool. To show all tools just click the small rectangle under the icon. Pick Interactive Transparency Tool.
4.	Move Your mouse over the rectangle, left click and drag the cursor into desired direction. As You can see the left rectangle is the process of picking transparency area, and the right rectangle is after when You have done. To make the transparent guide line snap the Dynamic Guides (usually, 0, 45, 90, 135 degree), while dragging the cursor hold down the CTRL button
5.	At least You will have drawing like the drawing above, it means You've done right. And also We must change the properties from this rectangle to have the transparency's properties. Picture below is the property of the Transparency Tools.
