    Farewell for now

    I’ve decided to take a rest from the board for a while, and I know there will be those who break out the champagne when I announce that I will also stand down as a moderator. :D

    It was fun while...

    Re: About Free Plug-Ins

    First, check to see if you already have some free plugins, Tex. I think some come with the program, and should already be installed.

    Select an object (say, a rectangle), and click on the Live...

    Re: Quality Issue

    Hi Ben,

    It’s just a matter of getting used to the tools. Go into ‘Extrustion Options’ and click the Outline width symbol (two O’s inside each other). At the moment you have it pressed on, so only...

    Re: How can I texture a cube

    Hi Dante,

    Do you mean making a spinning die, with all six sides of the cube showing different numbers of dots? I'm pretty sure you can only apply one bitmap texture, but if I'm wrong and there is...

    Re: With friends

    Hi derek.

    Copying, tracing and altering Walt Disney cartoon characters, and publishing them online, is plagiarism, especially when you give yourself credit for their creation. Doing this is bad...

    That’s great Tex, and when you do find something not right, give us a holler and someone here will help out. Answers are often a couple of keystrokes away, and I’m still learning about them too. ;)

    Re: Consistent Default Page Size

    Set up your page exactly as you like, including size, orientation, margins, and in Options you can choose your unit and nudge sizes, duplication distance, etc.

    Go to File/Save Template and check...

    Re: memory and picture issues XWD6

    Agreed, but you don’t have to have only one or the other. I think quantity and quality will both continue rising exponentially.

    Re: With friends

    Don’t you mean you ‘copied’ or ‘traced’ it, derek?

    Copying other people’s work and saying, “I done it,” is simple plagiarism, so I would stick with the words, “I copied this from this source,” and...

    They both emphatically said 'Never'. One MB was more than enough. Their view was essentially an anti-corporation rant. They believed that all the bluster about computers was just advertising,...

    I forgot to mention Clipview and bitmap copy.

    Re: how to paste a clean image

    When you say locked, it could mean group, blend or combine. If the objects are grouped, you can ungroup them by selecting them and pressing Ctrl/U. I would try this first, and you may have to ungroup...

    Just for the record I’ve been using Explorer 9 beta since it came out, on a Windows 7, 64 bit, and have had no problems with anything, including printers. Everything works perfectly.

    You can export the image as a PNG file. When the options box comes up choose Palette Options/Color depth/True color + Alpha, and Options/transparent, before exporting.
