    Default Save a simple graphic with a transparent background

    Hi Everybody,

    I have a simple brain-fart going on.

    Using Xara Designer Premium v 19


    I have a simple graphic that I want to save, but, with a transparent background.

    How do I tell the Export PNG dialog to save with a transparent background so that I can put this graphic where
    ever I want?
    Many Thanks,
    -Paul-
    If I wasn't so stupid, I wouldn't have to be so persistent.

    And, if there is a rectangle behind the object, do not select it as it will then replace the transparent background.

    Thank you for the tip, handrawn. My issue is that I cannot find that dialog box.
    Many Thanks,

    make sure your object is selected, then

    file menu > export

    enter your file name and file type and click export - the dilog box should appear; if it does not then minimise the program on screen and then maximise, sometimes the dialog hides behind

    that is the export dialog box

    but if you click file menu > export PNG, then you need to click the settings button after entering file name, not the export button [which bypasses the dialog]
