  1. Re: Is the upgrade: Xara Designer Pro X v19 ==> v20 (perpetual) worth it ?

    Yes, quite clever... !
    However you end up with 2 lines - one doing the outer (convex) corners and the other doing the inner (concave) corners.

    TBH, I only half-understand that....

  3. Re: Is the upgrade: Xara Designer Pro X v19 ==> v20 (perpetual) worth it ?

    Apologies what I meant was the creation of what engineers call a "fillet".

    i.e. Where you have a sharp corner where 2 straight lines meet and you want to round it with a simple curve that has...
  4. Is the upgrade: Xara Designer Pro X v19 ==> v20 (perpetual) worth it ?

    Hello

    Has anyone here upgraded from Xara Designer Pro X v19 to v20 (perpetual)?

  5. Re: Where can I download the new XDP v20 as a free trial? (i.e. one-time purchase opt

    Talking of bugs... so I installed Pro+ (on a strictly temporary basis!) and now I just got a new "internal error" message when I saved and closed a .xar file.

  6. Re: Where can I download the new XDP v20 as a free trial? (i.e. one-time purchase opt

    Typical! The problem that I was having was that when I exported a PDF from a .XAR document, Xara was failing to add a URL. However having (amongst other things), rebooted my PC, XDP v19 is now...
  7. Re: Where can I download the new XDP v20 as a free trial? (i.e. one-time purchase opt

    Whut? Are we seriously saying that Xara has provided no way of testing the new one-time purchase version??

    OR have Xara finally seen the light and there is now a one-time purchase mechanism for...

    Hello

    Can anyone tell me where I can download a free trial of the new Xara Designer Pro v20 from?

    Re: Upgrade Xara pro19 to Xara Pro v20 (Perpetual)

    Yes, the subscription model may suit regular users, and the accountants of software developers love it (!), but as I have explained it does not suit irregular users.

    Re: Upgrade Xara pro19 to Xara Pro v20 (Perpetual)

    > v20 --- £120/y (discount [60MAGIXV20])& behind by about two years.

    That's outrageous. Xara are clearly trying to phase out perpetual licences if the are deliberately making the perpetual...

    I am using:
    "Xara Designer Pro X 19.0.0.63929 DL x64 Mar 3 2022"

    Ah-ha - I have found the culprit!
    I had scaling set at: "1cm" to "10cm".
    I have changed it from "1mm" to "10mm"

  19. Re: Is there a way to make my lines slightly 'wobbly' as if drawn by hand in XDPX?

    Well the Shape Painter is certainly an interesting approach. And it does more or less do the job!

  20. Re: Is there a way to make my lines slightly 'wobbly' as if drawn by hand in XDPX?

    I have tried Affinity Designer several times in the past.
    Maybe it's because I'm too used to Xara or maybe it's just my brain, but I find its learning curve to be brutal.

    And after every time I...
  21. Re: Is there a way to make my lines slightly 'wobbly' as if drawn by hand in XDPX?

    Clever stuff... but to get clear I need the edges of the lines to stay parallel to each other.
    i.e. The line needs to be of constant thickness.

  22. Re: Is there a way to make my lines slightly 'wobbly' as if drawn by hand in XDPX?

    Hmmm... It appears that what the Freehand tool really does is stores a very large numbers of points, irrespective of whatever the Smoothing is set to, but it then renders your line in accordance to...
