What is the best way to make just a specific area(s) of a graphic a clickable link?

One more question. Acorn, in your example the shape is outlined in design but invisible on render. My shape is invisible in design as well, so I can't see it. I can access it through the page and layer gallery or dragging around it. There must be a setting I'm missing. Thanks.

acorn said use 0px as line width, and that is what you should do, enter 0 in the line width box - if you entered none then that is your issue

none means you don't see anything at all; 0 means no outline in render, buts shows a visible path during design

@handrawn - thanks.
@Nancy, as @handrawn says, 0px shows as a 1px line at whatever scale on the design page only.

The No Fill approach beats the 99% Transparency as that fades out any Line width so it is hard to see the extent of the shape.

The down-side is you can only marquee select a No Fill shape or select it by clicking on its Line.
A 99.5% Transparency is also very hard to catch; a 99% Transparency Black can just be seen.

@All - For completeness: https://helpandsupport.xara.com/xara...=line%20widths

Note: A zero width line is a special case, and should not normally be used. This draws a line one device-pixel wide. The actual size will therefore depend on the device the drawing is displayed on. On a monitor screen one pixel is clearly visible and is never shown anti-aliased. On devices such as printers and particularly on image setters, which have a much higher resolution, the line is almost invisible (zero width lines in imported files are converted to 0.25pt).

Funny how Xara fails to mention zero-width lines do not render. If the result is SVG, you have stroke-width=0. If it is a span Tag, no border attribute is included.
The last bold part is interesting too. This means you end up with a 0.333px Line width.
