I was looking at using Xara 3D for doing some graphic work but it appears that there is no way to export to OBJ, 3DS, FBX or 3DM formats. Can anyone confirm this?

Ok, now that I've solved the bad pen problem on my graphire and have a new pen on the way (thanks Wacom), I'm curious how people have their pen and pad buttons configured for best use within Xara....

Just got off the phone with Wacom, and it is a bad pen. New pen on the way. Just wanted to let people know in case someone else has this issue.

No, that's not it. I'm not getting click sounds, and I understand the control panel settings. I specifically changed them as discussed above, but even if I reset everything to default, my pen will go...

I've got a Wacom Graphire, and seem to have a problem with the pen. I have the larger button set to click, and the other set to popup. Pen is set to mouse mode. My problem is that it seems it...

Very slick! Thanks, it worked like a charm to get the shapes I need. Tweaking them as needed is a piece of cake once in Xara. My hat's off to you.

Now to see if I can do that with SmartDraw...

I'd love to be able to use Xara for some simple but publishable flowchart diagrams. I'm totally new to Xara, but from what I've seen so far, I love it's feature set.

In looking thru the archive,...

Smart objects are to my understanding essentially vector objects that can be edited in illustrator

I have a file with Vector Smart Objects in Photoshop. Is there any way I can import that into Xara with the smart objects treated as vector objects in Xara?

And Greyscale is exactly what I want...I just was dead tired last night and could not think beyond 2 bits. The Layer Transparancy works great...now I can start making all my textures in Xara and...

Sweet! I just tried it with a quick single color circle, did the layer transparency and created an alpha. Saved as a TGA and it imported perfect into Second Life. Building just got a LOT more fun! ...

When we talk about alpha transparency here, does that mean I should be able to open the png in photoshop and see a true alpha channel (i/e b&w mask)? I'm totally new to Xara and fairly new to PS. I...

This is exactly what I am trying to do as well. The game he is referring to is Second Life. What is needed as an end result, is an image with an alpha channel that acts as a mask, so it is...

That option shows some promise. I just did a quick test, and I can get the alpha channel, but once I do the paste, it appears offset for some reason from the layer. It's too late to start playing...

I just played with it, and it appears that it will only export transparancy as a PNG file, not as TGA. Also, even in the case of PNG it does not appear to be utilizing the alpha mode to create a mask...
