    Question Designer Pro X: Adding Fills

    I recently upgraded to Xara Designer Pro X. To my great dismay, I can't get the freaking thing to add any fills, the manual is useless on the topic, and none of the two tone fills I love so much from the earlier versions is anywhere to be found. Please advise!

    See my lovely background checkerboard pattern inside the dome? Can't do it on X!

    Try four-colour repeating fill.

    should be in designer pro X under 'two color shading' in fill gallery - if not you may need to click 'get fills' to download them if they have not installed from disk [can't remember]

    depends whether its ver 'X' or ver 'X9' or ver 'X10' - ver 'X' [ie ver 8] does not have a content installer

    Very true. I stand corrected [but my doc says it's not permanent ]
