How do I keep a definite edge of a shape on one side, then have a soft edge on the other?
For example A square:
Left edge is crisp. Right edge I want to have a soft edge. (using a soft edge makes the whole shape fade, including the left side)
This comes in handy while shading objects.
Am I missing something?

It sounds like you may have to break this up into multiple objects. For the square example, it would still look like a square in the final output, but it might be made up of two overlapping rectangles.
Your other option to get shading effects is to use an image texture. Take a look at Tutorial 4.4 in the manual for an example of using images to texture a vector object - that example would apply directly if you were trying to get a specific shading effect.
