    Default Need some technical advice on lines

    OK, here's the deal.. My two year old son got hold of my tablet pen when I turned my back and somehow turned everything on xara into lines only. I don't have any fills in my picture, but they're still in my bitmap gallery.

    How do I switch back to normal view? HELP!

    My son may not live to be 3 at the rate he's going.

    Could it be as simple as he has altered the 'view quality' slider to minimum?

    Thanks Doc for answering.

    Yes, he managed to right click on the mouse buttons and reduce the quality to outline.


    Whew, I have to admit I panicked for a minute. I guess I can let him out of his room now.

    Thanks,

    Jen

    Maybe he's trying to tell you he wants his own copy of Xtreme! :-)

    I know he'd like his own copy, and computer, and drawing tablet... not going to happen.

    He'd have a peanut butter sandwich in the disk drive within 24 hours, Xara would be jammed up with his attempt to reformat the program to accept jumbo crayola crayons, and the drawing tablet would have finger paint gummed up in the controls, not to mention he would probably use the stylus as a new tool to work into the key holes around the house.

    No.. I don't think he's ready for all of this power yet.... Maybe when he's 10.

    Great news that it was something so simple, now just remind him when he gets to about 5 years old how his 'uncle' Doc saved his life
