Buttons Gallery

Look for this in your clipart gallery.

Hmm... Bill beat me to it...

Even with the information shown above, the gel button does not exist in the clipart folder.

My suggestion is to create your own clipart and add it to Xara's collection. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Create your gel button (or use the one attached)

2. (With the gel button file open) In the menu click File|Save As and navigate to where your clipart is stored. (C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Xtreme\Themes if you use the default locations) (again, note that this will be viewable in the Web Themes section as noted before, if you want it to appear in the normal clipart section then use the path: C:\Program Files\Xara\Xara Xtreme\Clipart)

3. Create a new folder (MyButtons for example)

4. Save your button in the new folder.

5. Open the clipart gallery and click the Disk Clipart button at the top of the gallery.

6. Navigate to the same folder that you saved your gel button in and Click the Add button.

Now you have your very own gel button in your clipart that can be used over and over again.

Hope that helps.

Hi Eric,

The Gel Buttons are in the Example Xara X Drawings 1 (CD) folder in the Clipart, very bottom right of that folder on my machine.

for some strange reason, mine is not at the bottom... there are a few more after it (same folder - Examples 1)

Bill,

Sorry, I wasn't trying to hijack your post. I'm not taking time to read posts throughly and then I didn't find the clipart (because I didn't read the posts and was looking in the wrong place).

Either way, I've added a refresher tutorial on how to add clipart to Xtreme.

Eric, you were helping as usual. I know it's difficult to find that Gel Buttons click art, took me about 4 tries to find the right part of the gallery

Thanks for the refresher, I know I forget how to do that between times I need it.

Thanks guys! When I get home I'll look for the gel buttons. I'll try out Eric's tutorial and import Soquili's gel buttons.

What I am trying to do is to create an interactive resume. I thought I would build the elements within Xara and import them into Acrobat to apply the interactivity. I think I could create it in CorelDraw but I never tried it so Acrobat wins by default.

Where is that located please?

Hi Peter,

If you mean "where is the tutorial for adding clipart to Xtreme?".

Then it is in this same thread and is the second post (post #22) on the third page. Or about 6 or seven posts above this one.

Hope that helps.

I read that but thought that tutorials were stored in another location not in the threads.
