hi ernie, your art work is magnificent
if you draw with the shape painter tool you get shapes, not lines, often this is not what is required, but yes, you can get excellent results when it is
all lines are textured strokes - what you say does not really address the issue that michael is having, which is that the pressure profile ['stroke shape' on the fly] is not profiled correctly
EDIT - I am assuming here that when michael draws a pressure profiled line it is not possible for him to get anywhere near the width set on the infobar, which would be the maximum achieveable for maximum pressure; it should not be that difficult to achieve, unless settings in wacom or other software are overiding xara, as mentioned before...
if the drivers are wrong that too might be a factor; the xara freehand drawing tool is more than 20 years old, a lot has changed

Yep handraw I know. But Xara can't handle this becaus it uses a line/brush profile.
Xara has not the abillity to change responsive the lineprofile. Thats that thing. Others do it better – but Xara is Xara, live with it or leave it.
This problems I have since my first Xara version and in this time I used six Drawing Tablets from Wacom to now Huion.
The Huion is in my opinion the best deal and feels to me better then the Wacoms.
Drawing in Xara is not like painting. I've found my way how to do. For my work it's not nesassery if I have a line or an objekt.
here are three freehand lines I drew in xara designer:
the program responds very well to the pressure I exert, and I can get from very thin to very thick in one stroke - the thick strokes are close to the infobar size
it is not possible to change the profile afterwards, agreed - but that is not what I understand michael to be saying; I read his post to mean he could not draw the full range between thin and thick, that the maximum size that could be drawn was much lower than that on the info bar...

pretty sure xara uses wintab not windows ink myself

Switch it on – test it.
Switch it off – test it.
I have this behavior when Windows Ink is switched on.
And by default Windows have it switched on. Every Update again it's switched on.
could be - I have not switched it off in my wacom settings - but if it were to be switched off, michael would need to have the wintab drivers I presume...

Don't know that exactly but what I know they are since win 10 on board.
Because the problem with it I had under win 10 too.
