I'm having a similar, though not so extreme, issue. I have X1 running and have just downloaded the Xtreme demo, so am running the two alongside each other.

If I open the same drawing in both...

Hello folks,

I don't often post, but I do read often!

I've just got Xara X1, and I love it. Why? Because the defaults are editable again. Xara X was so annoying because it always defaulted...

Hi folks,

Long time no talk to you folks!

Quick question requiring a 'quick and dirty' answer. I need to put some Greek symbols on a diagram I'm drawing in XaraX and they need to be bold. The...

I've been thinking about things that annoy me in Xara X.

I don't like the way 'snap' works. I hate the way the outline of an object snaps to, say, the grid, rather than the object itself snapping...

I'd just like one little thing added- to be able to alter the startup defaults- you know- black fill, line width 0.5pts, etc. Just like the way I seem to remember being able to do in the days of...

I've always been wary of spending money, and am very slow about buying new software. Anyway, I was still using version 3 of the C****D*** drawing package when I saw a review (it might have ben in...

Hi folks,

Well, after all your helpful replies, I think I have persuaded 'the management' that the grass may not actually be all that much greener on the other side of the fence, and that we...

Not a logo, I don't have the talent you guys have, or the imagination, but a motto/tag line sprang into my head whilst reading the thread:

Hi Guys,

'Nice' image- but my first thought on seeing it was that it was a picture of some sort of unpleasant intestinal worm. /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

I liked Nadia (the splittie), but the ink-bottle and pen are awesome. I was looking at the picture, muttering about why it isn't fair that talent is so unfairly distributed, when Owen, one of my PhD...

Here's a two minute sphere. Neither glossy, nor matt, but shall we say 'satin' texture?

Two circles of the same size, one red(ish) with a circular colour fill- white to red(ish), the other black...

Hi,

Well, I've had Xara since it was *****Xara 1.5, and haven't had many problems that have needed any support- in a sense, given how good XaraX seems to be, it wouldn't really matter if the...

Thanks Gary, I knew there had to be an 'idiot-proof' way of doing this. Well done for finding it for me. /infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Thanks for the ideas guys- you've given me some more ideas to try (which will hopefully stop me denting the wall with my skull). /infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

Hi Folks,

I seem to be being thick, and hope someone can help out!

I really seem to have started something with these disks don't I? I had no idea that my little request for help with drawing brass disks would turn into some sort of disk-dementia, or frisbee-fest,...

Yeah, nice one, like the 'Mayan' feel to the picture.
