Both Mike & Gary have got it right. Just delete all of those layers and do your own shadow if you have a bitmap copy of the file that you imported so that you can see where the shadow is going. Most people who do shadows, if it's going to be printed, avoid using RGB effects and use vector shadows and the Blend Tool is good for this. The thing is that many other programmes export blends in different ways which leads to problems when imported into another drawing programme like Xara. If your trying to learn this Xara programme go to the Xone and search for the effect/drawing that you want to do both Gary B & Gary P have spent years showing people how to work in Xara and the tutorials are "Awesome".
If cant find what your looking for then it's never been done before so if it's not in Gary B's video tutorials Gary P's in the archives as they go from 1996 to the present:
