The Bluetooth keyboard I have is quite compact, and I try to avoid wireless adapters if a bluetooth accessory is available as it leaves the single usb socket free for adding/offloading files, so I'm...
I've been using xara on a surface pro for a while and I find it really good. The smallness of user interface icons takes a bit of getting used to but pinch to zoom works for scaling the drawing in...
"So independently from the hardware the V9 should work on tablets with Windows 8? "
Yep works fine I'm now using win8.1 on a Surface Pro and it works fine too. X the previous version works well on...
Downloaded the designer pro v9 trial and discovered I can remove the right edge galleries, found I can also remove them from previous version so there you go. Never been much good at reading...
I'm interested in this new version as Xara says it is compatible with touch devices. I like using my Surface Pro/win8.1 and Xara is already pretty good to use on it. I don't use the desktop for...
I recently bought a Microsoft Surface Pro and today loaded my favourite programs onto it - Xara, Flash and Photoshop, and after using several Wacom tablets for some years (artz2 model to the intuos...
This new Shape builder tool is wonderful. Thanks Xara I've been waiting a long time for this. It was the only drawing/painting thing I still missed from Photoshop, as it now allows broad (or fine)...
yep there are a few Android apps I've found in searching, usually in beta but they appear to use bitmap output. Autodesk Sketchbook Mobile outputs png and psd, and pdf but I don't think the pdf is...
absolutely agree with android version request. Think a simple cut down basic version of Xara for drawing would be popular.
I once had a palm tungsten E and bought a simple vector drawing app for...
I just now upgraded to v7 and at last, a pressure sensitive pen for plain outline drawing! Not only that but a sketch drawing mode as well. Wonderful.
That's the best new Xara feature (for me)...
yes the default handling of fine lines in Flash swfs is still pretty basic, but the solution in Flash is to convert all lines to shapes for the final render to swf; then the thinnest lines in the...
aha!
What was once a bent arrow has now gone straight.. that's a relief.
thanks to all

sigh. In all Xara (including less extreme) versions I could adjust the orientation of blended bits along a line by ctrl-clicking twice on either the beginning or end object to bring up the bent...
IE vs Firefox? The only superior feature in firefox for me is firebug. Very very handy in web development and I use it often. That's enough for me to use FF concurrently.
Otherwise IE is...
Wonderful that Xara have fixed .swf export into Flash in the latest xtreme so now I can retire old xara X, and at last I can set photoshop as my bitmap editor.
But what I still really really...
Fix Xtreme Pro's swf export so I can export a bitmap along with drawn shapes as a swf and then import the swf into Flash 8. I should get the bitmap and the drawn shapes appearing on a layer in Flash...
The cds and books arrived here in New Zealand this morning. Design looks great, Miro.
Lots of bubble wrap to pop, and thats a bonus. But being so well bubble wrapped, the box is not crushed so Im...
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"> wouldn't work on mac screens but maybe now it does in osx. Useful for when you have flash movies displayed over a jpeg background on the page, and it doesn't...
one more thing..
It would really make my day if xara made a very very simple cut down version - just drawing pen and simple/gradient fills, to run on a Palm.
Theres nothing available thats...
lots of good tips here.. got it well covered there, Egg.
re Inkscape, I note it saves to svg.
Interesting aside, Im using handlix draw on a palm tungsten E to draw cartoon stuff out in the...
XaraX and Xtreme both export brilliantly to swf for importing to the library or on the stage in Flash. Prior to Xara's superb swf export I used to export to illustrator and import from Ill into flash...
mm looking forward to version X2, Im still using X. If it wasnt for the fantastic swf export of X Id happily be still using xara2 because near everything I want is all there.
I hope there is...
I use programs other than Xara for these purposes:
1. Edit bitmaps in Photoshop and png them back into xara.
2. Export drawings/designs for further animation in Flash.
3. Drawings requiring...
yes a wacom tablet really makes xara fun and even more useful. Small tablets are great as you can carry them in a laptop bag, the sketchpad you can take most anywhere.
Tablet I want to buy next...
