    Default Freehand Line Feature Request

    When drawing with the Freehand Line Tool, it would be nice if it would pick up line colors with the Alt Button as the Eyedropper tool.

    Shef - I would expand this to make the Alt key trigger the eyedropper tool whenever it is appropriate. Illustrator and Photoshop work this way and it is very convenient.

    Try creating a shape with an elliptical fill. Then give it a line color. You can't edit the line color at all in the color editor. It only gives you the choice of making changes to the elliptical fill.

    Hmm. I don't think this is correct.

    I created an ellipse, applied an elliptical fill then added an outline.

    In the Color Editor I show start, end, and outline colors.

    Are you sure you added an outline?

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I added a stroke profile to the outline.

    It is a bug...

    Between now and when Xara fixes it, select the object with the elliptical fill, choose the fill tool. The line color is then available in the Color Editor.
