I’m having a little trouble understanding the concept.
- live copies are like repeating elements, but they can be moved
- change one and they all change.
That’s about where it ends for me. Many thanks,
-Bill

Bill, they are not rocket science but they do have a few rules.
The main trick is to understand the general concept of a Group.
An action on the entire group should be seen as a local edit.
If you open a group, then an edit inside is a global edit.
A Ctrl+Select on a group object is a global edit.
Typically, there is no distinction between global and local.
In the case of Live Copies, change one's Transparency results in a local change.
Click inside and you can apply another Transparency and this is applied globally so that the one shape can have two different transparencies at the same time.
A colour change is a change of all shapes in the Live Copy so it affects all Live Copies.
That is the main reason Xara introduced Unique Live Copies in XPro+v21.6.
If you Stop Live Copy, the global Transparency disappears.

Thank for the reminder/link. I wish XaraXhris was still around. What a smart resource. Been 6 years since any updates on his vids. I wonder what happened.
