thanks, I did search first but not successful. I'll try it when i get home. As always, you guys are the fastest and most expert forum I deal with :D

the photo editor has almost all tools as not working on my new PC. Is this a vista issue, and if so is there a patch?

Each tool has been replaced by the wrong way sign (red circle with line...

Anyone know where i can get algerian and stencil fonts for XARA.

Well whatever the error, it cost me $800 for a new computer. I think it was dead dramm

It won't recover the file.

Here is the file, can someone else try. The problem might be me :(

Well I've been productive with Xara now since March, and two issues have arisen. First I have a file, once again with an "internal error" that won't open. I know there was a program that would...

Finally got it. A slight brain burn to find, but it was there after 3 or 5 hoops. Everything is working, and I'm as happy as a non-lotto winner can be ;)

I payed for xara, but the site sent me no activation email information, so now the program is locked :(

jay

thanks bunches!

I have to say it again, this is the most helpful product support venue I've every had the pleasure of being a part of. Thanks all.

For some unknown reason, as I started work on a project, I can't draw a shape without a linear fill inside. It won't change to flat fill, but it says it is flat fill. And, it can't be changed. it...

Thanks, I'll work that direction now. Not a bad looking vehicle for someone less than a week out of MSpaint even if I do say so :D

I'll let all know if I'm able to extract. Thanks again

Ok, irratating to be sure. Here is the file. If someone can open it, rename it and send it back that would be super. TIA

I'm in love with Xara as a program. I've gotten more drawing done in the last four days than I can get done in a week before.

However....

Two of my most critical drawings cannot now be...

Another skill mastered ;)

Now that I've mastered the most rudimentary techniques of xara, I'm ready to move on to novice level. How do you create a fractile fill you like, then save it to use on many shapes?

thanks

It is absolutely foreign to go from MS paint to xara. Most of the difficulty I think I was having was centered around vocabulary. Shapes, objects, groups, etc are concepts, but in xara they have...

I'm on a roll now. Awsome! Here is a tank. the original mspaint and the result from xara. I'm definately into this program.

jay :D

Starting to see how this works. It is a completely different way of thinking, but I like the results. here are game counters... :D

ok, it is new to me. I'm used to creating many many images on a single page, then finalizing on separate pages.

OK here is my latest effort. Issue I have is the completed figure will not combine as a usable form. There are objects, lines, fills, etc., but I can't seem to combine them to duplicate the figure....

I cannot access troop2 anymore, as the program will not recognize it even though it will preview it. it is there, but gone.

attached is troop. For the last hour i've tried again to work this...

I've been using MSpaint for as long as it has been around.

I'm trying to move into some quality graphics for my work, and I'm having trouble. Almost none of the tools directly translate--i.e. ...

OK. I've managed to redraw shape and work it a little as per some tutorials.

Now I have 2 problems:

1. Can't combine objects into group and move them. Even though it copies them together.

I just did as you said and the entire outline was changed to a single color. :confused:

OK, after some sleep, coffee, and a smoke...

things are working better today. at least I can post an attachment today, which I couldn't yesterday.

So here are some copies "troop2" where I...
