importing online svg graphics into xara designer

Some of you may already be familiar with this tip but I'll share it briefly.

Many corporate logos are on Wikipedia.

Google search the name of logo followed by .svg

ie. cocoa-cola.svg

go to the bottom of the logo and click on "Original file (SVG file)" link

this will take you to a new page with the logo in the top left corner

copy and paste the page url

go into Xara Designer

choose new or click the "+" tab to bring up a new window

select "import" copy and paste the url and click open

a pop up will appear choose merge.

the svg file is now loaded in Xara Designer.


Another way this can be done is right click on the logo on blank page - save picture as - click save

This will save the svg file to your computer and then open it in Xara Designer

All the best :)

I just learned something. :)

Hey Gary. I'm always learning new stuff as well

I replied to your grooved dividers for menus comment re using the color editor

I also added a suggestion that could benefit the Xara community

actually, it's not Xara but the underlying Windows File system carrying out what it's supposed to do...
