you can do this [at least in version 6 so I presume in version 7] - so based on ver 6 :
best way is to make sure you have a good fit of shape and texture in the xar file - then when you export the texture and import it into 3D maker try and make sure the shape is the same size there as it was in xara designer - in 3D the shape is measured in text point size so probably a good idea to size it that way in designer in the first place
there is a way of tweaking/adjusting the size of the texture - again based on ver 6 they are sliders as I recall for x/y
sorry can't give specifics as I don't have program on laptop and not used it for quite a while; should be in the help though

Boowho??
Oops..... ALMOST perfect..... I'm going to try and add an additional WHITE border around what you sent; it will be the exact same shape (rounded corners) as the existing green border. This should give me exactly what the Colorado tag looks like, and also allow the edge of my board to be white.
Thanks to all
Boowho??

X3D, this will give you a square or rectangle. Then look at texture options and open the texture group you previously exported, I selected text face to texture.I then went to color options and changed the text sides to a darker but similar green. See my X3D file.

OK, got the extra white border added.
My biggest misunderstanding is that I (stupidly) thought that importing the original vector file would automatically give me the same texture.
In retrospect, I actually knew that all along but just had a brain fart regarding the matter ( I AM 72 after all). :-O
Once again thanks to all that offered assistance/advice.

Re: 3D Maker 7 import problem
booho I worked on this more to put a white square border around your design. The green didn't come out dark enough in X3D and when I darkened it enough the white darkened also. So I went to XP&GD 10 and did it there. I grouped the green and white and applied a round bevel. So now you have your design with a white square border. Is this what you are wanting? Or a rounded corner line to match the green border?
