Exporting from Webster to Xara3D

[dougc]

......it don't work.
I downloaded Xara3D, then installed Webster when the CD's came a couple days ago. And it don't work.
Soooo,
I had downloaded the XaraX trial but (now) uninstalled that, on the chance that it might have been causing confusion somewhere. I also noticed that the Xara3D case has a serial number on it, and the downloaded install never asked for one, so I uninstalled the downloaded copy and reinstalled off the CD--and the CD install requested the serial number. I get the same message though: Xara3D says that .web files are invalid. It doesn't matter if I try to open the file by importing or file->open. Sometimes 3D says that "parts of the file are missing". Webster will only export files as .web, and I already know that Xara3D doesn't seem to like Paint Shop Pro vector images much either.... -Is there something I'm not doing here?

Hi Doug,

I haven't received my Xara3D CDs yet, but I exported a .web file from XaraX. I left the exclude preview bitmap checked, so there would not be a bitmap in the file. It imported into Xara3D5 with out any problems.

Mine don't do sheet. All it says is "import failed" or "not a valid X3D file". Maybe they fuxed Webster's export function up, so this won't work anymore.

Is anybody else here using Webster?
