If you draw a polygon or rectangle and make a link on that object, the link won't work if you set the line width to 0.
If you set the line width to 1 or more the link works.

Confused

Are you shading the rectangle or polygon? By definition a shape that is not shaded or filled, and has no border, does not exist; i.e., there is nothing for SS/WE/SS-Pro to render.

He may have something here. In WE, you can make an invisible link area by drawing a rectangle without a border and assigning a link. I occassionally use this to section graphics for multiple links (like on a map).

I cannot achieve this in SSP B5.

Hi Larry and starhubs,

I have used it to make invisible links. No shading or anything. Exactly as starhubs is saying. It works as long as you are in SSPro, but when you do a preview or publish the page it won't work any more.
It has worked fine in WE.

You can work around this by using the Shading->Fill Settings and setting the transparency (Trans) value to 255. This will force SS-Pro to create a transparent image (which is what SS and WE currently do).

Thanks Larry,
It works fine.
VM will hopefully solve this in the next coming beta version. Now they know anyway.

Now links works fine using line width 0 in SSPro Beta 6 exactly as the readme.txt informs without any work around!
Cool
