    Re: Transparency using brushes

    Very nice, handrawn,

    If the speckle brush was semi transparent the speckles would build up darkness where they overlap each other and so you'd get varying levels of transparency in the opacity...

    Re: Transparency using brushes

    You could use a speckled brush to paint into the mask channel of an opacity mask group.

    Sorry, I don't have time to work up an example now but hopefully someone will pick up the challenge!

    Re: Editing a pdf is freezing Xara

    If you group the imported graphic into a rough hierarchy then Designer will find it easier to navigate through the drawing and it will be able to keep parts as bitmaps for quick rendering when you're...

    Re: Repel text under

    Makes no sense in tables and so is deliberately disabled.
  6. Re: Problem with image handles not allowing equal horizontal & vertical resizing

    Nothing to do with Smart Transform. The OP simply has aspect ratio lock turned off, as shown by the pointer shape over the handle.

  7. Re: Update to Designer Pro+ and Web Designer+ (v22.2)

    @Acorn,

    Very few, if any, of these issues are specific to this release and most are already logged. This is not an appropriate place to report them again.

    Re: Pro+ update - Handles Missing

    The offset between the bounds of the selection and the handles is restored to how it used to be a few major revisions ago. No handles are missing.

    The offset means they might be clipped out of...

    Re: Pouring a picture in hole

    You could try setting the picture as an art brush and then making it follow a suitable line with a stroke profile to control its width along the line.

    Now that Designer is "DPI aware" you can change the Windows Display Scale factor (in Settings | System | Display) to any value that you like. The program will scale it's UI elements up...

    Hi Acorn,

    Colour bar drags and drops: Just something that hasn't been implemented yet. This will be done in due course.

    Q1 The result I get in a new doc is that both Cell height and Cell width are 26261mp. You may have had a current font size attribute that affected the height (since cells are populated with text...

    Hi Acorn,

    Thanks. Yes, I should have had more faith in the background erase function! I was avoiding it because I didn't think it would handle the holes in the trees very well.

    The Shape Painter tool does something close to what you want, I think.

    No, this is a specific problem in the Selector tool.

    Have the issues with large documents and repeating objects been reported elsewhere? What is the scenario?
