  2. Re: Xara PGD 9 not able to draw ANYTHING when using on a tablet pc!

    Yes, "unusual" in that first gen tablet computers are much less common than standard desktop or laptops with or without optional tablet digitisers plugged in. What would you guess? One in ten? one in...
  3. Re: Xara PGD 9 not able to draw ANYTHING when using on a tablet pc!

    No, usually the input interfaces don't interfere with each other so there's no need for any UI to select between them.

    However, in hindsight we should perhaps have provided a way to disable touch...
  4. Re: Xara PGD 9 not able to draw ANYTHING when using on a tablet pc!

    The relevant difference in this context between PGD9 and previous versions is that PGD9 supports the "Windows Touch API".

    Re: Slice a shape with outline

    Hi Frances,

    You don't need to use the 1% softness "bodge" (if I may be so bold as to call it that).

    All you need to do is group the target object before erasing. That will force it to do an...

    When "Scale line widths" is on the line attributes are taken into account. Turn it off to snap just the mathematical centres of lines and shapes.

    Re: XaReg 2 Released

    Why was this developed in secret while there was a public and well-intentioned effort being set up by the community at large to replace XaReg?

    Seems a bit unfriendly.

    Hi Grace,

    No we don't have a separate list, I'm afraid. In this instance the source code is the list. We used to use tools to generate documentation from the code but we haven't run them for quite...

    Re: Modifying opacity mask afterward

    Another way to do it is to use "edit inside".

    Right-click on the Opacity mask group, go to the "Opacity mask" submenu and choose "Open Opacity mask". That will open just the mask shapes in a...

    Re: Recurring error

    It's an error in the code that redraws the rulers. Reinstalling is unlikely to fix this because the problem is probably caused by settings in your particular document.
