Don't know Xtreme 5, but...

[Gamerprinter]

I don't have Xtreme 5 yet, so I don't know if this issue has been handled or not, but I need to create files that are larger than 36 x 48 inches, and/or create files that are larger than 300 dpi. If I could create 600 dpi files for example, I can reduce pixel files in photoshop of files created that reduce to are 300 dpi at 72" x 96" for example - so I can print larger dimension maps.

300 dpi at maximum allowed page size is a limitation for me.

PS: I have lots of small issues with Xara, though its still my preferred app.

You can enter the dpi value manually when exporting.

Xara Xtreme Pro 4 only allows me to export 300 dpi files. When I create files that are larger than 36" x 48" I get an error about maximum file size or maximum dimension.

Very often the maps I design, I print at full scale with a larger format inkjet printer. I can print larger than 36 x 48, but Xara won't let me design bigger than that. That's my issue.

Hi GP,

As Sledger mentioned you can type in any dpi you need in the Export Dialog. You are not limited to the values in the dropdown list.

Thank you, I'll see if I can successfully do that.

The 2.75m (9ft) page size limit is still present in Xtreme 5.
You can get around this with vector drawings by setting scale factors.

Xara developer PhilM says:

The reason for the 2.75m limit is to avoid overflow errors during coordinate manipulation. Xtreme needs "headroom" to be able to multiply, add, divide, (etc.) coordinates within signed 32-bit integers at all zoom factors and the maximum zoom factor can multiply coordinates by 256 times.

We have allowed a safety margin so you might get away with loading larger drawings but you run the risk of your document being rendered incorrectly at extreme zoom factors and it may become corrupted if you try to edit it.
