Lasso/Mask Icon
I just received my cd and updated my XX5Pro installation.
Been playing around with it today and wanted to play with the mask. However, there is a blank spot were the lasso use to be on the standard toolbar next to the magnet (snap to objects). I can still turn on masking via the menu (Windows-> Mask mode on), the short cut (control-m), or if I enable the Button Palette, it is displayed there next to the magnet and works if I click it on or off.
Any idea how I can get it back? Not sure if it was the cd upgrade that caused it or me playing around.

Never mind.
I reset the bars and it showed back up.

Re: Lasso/Mask Icon
for the record:
you can create a new control bar and ALTdrag off the button palette those buttons you need, then dock the new bar if you wish
or you can ALTdrag onto an existing bar [not info bar]
ALTdrag from a bar removes the button
[click 'new' on control bars dialog box to create new control bar]
there is a mask bar listed among the standard bars [last time I looked the button was a different one to the lasso, but appeared to work the same]

Re: Lasso/Mask Icon
The Mask icon should already appear on the Infobar next to the orange magnet icon.
The Help menu (Help > Xara Xtreme Help > Index > Masks) has helpful information on Masks and how to create and edit them.

Re: Lasso/Mask Icon
yes - Chris misplaced it :D
possibly an ALTdrag - I seem to recall if you ALTdrag a bar, and your mouse happens to be over where the 'close cross' is as you do it, its easy to loose the whole bar...

Re: Lasso/Mask Icon
Actually, mine's missing too. After installing from the CD, the mask icon no longer shows on the standard toolbar! Nor is it on the Mask toolbar. Dragging a new version from the button palette onto the toolbar puts the icon next to the old blank space that doesn't have an icon on it .......

Re: Lasso/Mask Icon
not installed from CD here yet.... sounds like the the duplicate button has been removed, but maybe its ghost lives on :D
could try ALTdragging the 'empty space' and see if that moves the bar or fixes it?

Re: Lasso/Mask Icon
So I'm NOT going crazy (or at least crazier). I had found the mask toolbar also and that was blank also. I'm sure I hadn't had the chance to mess that one up as I didn't know it was there until I started looking for a way to restore the mask icon. Everything came back when I reset the toolbar, though I had to reposition them again.
When I did that, it undocked my galleries and now they won't dock any more. I had them docked on the rh side of the screen, and they dock fine in XX4Pro, but, no matter how hard I try they just won't dock anymore.

Re: Lasso/Mask Icon
Can anyone else confirm this happens after installing the CD version of Xtreme 5?

Re: Lasso/Mask Icon
