I want to make some seamless fills and I use the slice methode. The square I use to slice the basic shape has no fill and no line. When I slice one of the rectangles has a thin line. How can I avoid getting that line?

Jolande,
Any chance you can post the XAR file?

Hi Joto
The 'line' you are seeing isn't an outline as such it is caused by antialiasing. For example if you create a red circle, clone it and change the clone to white you will get a thin red 'outline' appearing, which is the same sort of thing you are seeing.
If you create a bitmap copy of your sliced shapes you might not get this 'outline' appearing in the bitmap. At least I didn't when I tried it with your xar file.
An alternative to slicing would be to create a rectangle or square, align it where you want it over your pattern and send it to the back. Then select just this back rectangle/square and make a bitmap copy (without alpha). This will give you a bitmap with everything that is above the rectangle/square and is an alternative to actually slicing your shapes. (See attached).
Hope this helps.
Regards
Su

Hi Jolande,
I think I cured you line problem. I cut the white circles out of the red background, then just sliced at the same point you did...

Thanks Su and John for your help. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gif It getting really late now (I've to get up early for work) so I can't try your tips out now. I tend to stay up way to long when I'm drawing with Xara. Time flies when you're having fun. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

John is correct. What you are actually doing is slicing the single grouped shapes (reddy rectangle and white 'circles') with the transparent white rectangle. The outcome is 2 grouped shapes, which remain as groups but NOT sliced. Slice these again to remove the border.
