  1. Re: You can now open .XAR files in Scribus 1.6 Open Source Page Layout software

    Without asking the scribus devs, might be no way of knowing. I was able to open another file created in the past couple years which had many pages. Layers and layer settings were supported, group...
  2. You can now open .XAR files in Scribus 1.6 Open Source Page Layout software

    I haven't used Scribus or Xara for a while. I do have a lot of files in Xara and I'm worried I might lose access to them at some point due to previous version licensing / serial stuff. I just don't...
  3. Re: Xara Designer Pro - lost updates due to install on new PC

    This is one of the reasons why I didn't go with the subscrption version when they advertised the upgrade. Based on their inability to create proper installers for varied circumstances, I knew they...

    Re: Bevel & 3D anomaly

    This and feathering and shadows are one of my major bummers on Xara. That and the fact that they focus on templates rather than new helpful tools for very common illustration work like prototyping,...
  5. Surface Pro 3 - Stylus won't draw using pencil tool, but finger will (Xara DP X10

    I've got a surface pro 3. Really excited about using Designer Pro X10 but I can't get the pencil to actually draw on screen with the stylus. If I use my finger I can draw using the pencil tool. ...
  6. Re: What are you hoping to see in the next version of Designer Pro?

    I'd like to see the webpage export, utilize a popular web framework, basically either Foundation or bootstrap, or even just a simpler grid framework that could integrate with those. Even if it forced...
  7. key strokes or other tips to swivel and orbit 3D objects in Xara Pro?

    I don't use the 3D tool that much. I realized that I think I need a way to perfectly orbit the objects so I can really control their angle. I've not been able to do that with the mouse. In fact, I'm...

    font styles settings

    There's no way to lock styles in for text and change a setting and the entire doc updates right? I'm talking about the app in general, not a web export or anything. InDesign text styles let's you...

    Re: Dropbox

    I remember a couple years ago there was a utility that let you and a family member say in a different house, use each other's PCs as backup locations. It would constantly be synching a protected copy...

  12. Re: illustrator CS pencil tool keeps starting new line

    I dont' have it in front of me, but seems like to continue a line, you need to hold down ctrl or alt, or shift in order for the pencil to continue rather than start new. InDesign did that as i...

    Posted about Xara on my website

    Hey, I wanted to just promote a little article I posted about Xara Xtreme and how much I enjoy it. I don't know what to call this post, not a review per se, but something like it. Check it out if...

    Re: rounded corners only on top

    Not to beat a dead horse, but I think there's a more elegant way to do this.

    After creating and sizing a rounded rectangle, press Ctrl-Shift-S to convert it from a rectangle-shape (which has...

    Re: Rotate points tool

    Yes inverse kinematics would be cool. I think flash CS4 does that now if you really need that for something immediately.

    Re: Can Xara Xtreme(Pro) animate this ?

    I'd say the real answer is probably no on this one.

    But I know the software that could do this well and it's free. It's called Wink. It's a screencapture animation program so if you can show the...

    Re: Seam Carving technology

    This technology could make its way into Xara. For several reasons.

    1. Part or all of this technology from my understanding is open and usable. You don't have to use the online tool to take...
  19. Re: Adobe customers avoid it to buy Creative Suite 4

    It's too bad, because this upgrade is really good. If it's too much for somebody, just sign up for a $60 community college class and buy it as an educational price. It's so much cheaper and you can...

    Re: Experience with Shuttle PCs?

    I got an sp35p2 pro shuttle. It's pretty good. Not too quiet, not too loud. Actually I'm seeing more that the bigger video cards are louder than anything.

    If you want a small form factor, there's...
  22. Re: why should i buy xara instead of illustrator?

  25. Re: Guides snapping not working, anyone else have this bug?

    rock on, the problem was the mouse options. I changed them to your defaults and I'm set. I'll probably have to go back to several of my newly created templates to fix them, but that's ok. I'm glad...
