Nicely put

I didn't think that I had bought a manual because I thought Anthony posted at the launch that it would be the same as the main Xtreme one, but got one anyway so thanks for that. Looks good, but isn't the spine (like the shortcut card) printed upside down?

Thanks for that, I didn't notice that and almost lost it!

Crazy! I'll race you to lose the CDs!

Yes, is there an Option to 'Save' Current Setting or do we have to do something else (like copy a Setting File for Safe Keeping)? Thanks - Tom

It was quite an interesting event getting all the manuals and boxes in.

2.2 tons of manuals were delivered, along with the boxes. The truck wouldn't come up our drive for some reason, and the drivers only spoke Bulgarian so we didn't know why. So Kate phoned the shipping company and there was an ongoing translatation via the shipping company person. It turns out they thought the trees were too low for the truck to go under. They eventually gave it a go, and managed to get up. Turning around in front of the house was a worrying site; I expected Gaddesden Place to need a new wing again! Thankfully all was fine, and we just had to carry boxes of manuals from the truck to the offices. Everyone who was in that day got involved, it was a real company effort.

Even a couple of cars were drafted in to get all the manuals in.

Then everyone got involved in making the boxes and putting in the CDs etc, and it's strange walking around from office to office and everyone is doing the same thing. Xtreme Pro boxes everywhere. (Kind of reminding me of the Star Trek: TNG episode where everyone has gotten into a game, and Wesley is walking around wondering what's going on... too geeky of me?)

Then Miro was messaging me like an expectant father wanting to know if his child had been born yet.

So when it drops on your doorstep just think of all it's been through. The parts have come from Austria and Bulgaria, built up by all the members of staff, posted, then it travels the world some more before dropping on your doorstep.

Does this mean you're not going to drop everything and rummage through your orders so you can get mine out first?

I installed mine over the last download and when I'd registered it a started for the first time I simply chose to use current rather than default settings. All I had to do was re-instate my default page size and preferred units of measurment etc. Simple and pain free as I like it.

Got mine today and installed it without problem.
What I really wanted to say was how brilliant the manuals are - written in good plain English, nicely laid out and informative without being wordy.
Good one AntonyF

Have been messing around with PDF import as it is so important to my work and I am finding it both predictable & reliable. In my current work for a book company i have been producing "custom shapes" in PS and symbols in AI to give flowing garlands which mutate into the background of book covers. Up until now my work does not want me to show these drawings on this site but since now it will ALL be produced with on XPro this may change, at least I hope so.

I would like to thank the team for producing this Import module which has given me an edge and the ability to work faster than I ever have done before which should mean more work for me.

Computer Arts also have the 30 day trial of XPro on its monthly disc stating "ramp up your work rate with this speedy drawing and illustration package"

That is good news, and now some more tutorials and the such in the mag
would be nice, is there something special in the mag this month, because it is
pretty expensive.

For goodness sake, Will, you shouldn't let those Limy chaps know that we're jealous. They'll think we're not real men! And that's downright un-American!

Shshshshshsh!
