It is a statement of fact if the last two releases are anything to go by and you can only work on the evidence.

Your example could be interpreted totally wrong.
(Well I hope the interpretation was wrong ;) )
Well, I was a bit exaggerating just to put it straight. I'm sure that if there will be such a possibility, new vector features will be implemented. But it's not clear when and which. Voting or not voting can change not much as these are long time requested improvements on the wishlist and "Dear Xara" forum. Xara knows about it.

Well, if it's a fact and all is so hopeles, then what's the point of your petition? ;)

Covoxer often reminds me mr. Spock: "it's just logic, isn't it?"
Still, humans are not Vulcan people, you know.

To show developers can't spell ... joke! To annoy and niggle ... nope, that's a joke again!
I'm sure you can work out why I am ... maybe because I want more new Vector tools in xara xtreme maybe ... I thought it was obvious ... or are you being sarcastic ... you can never tell with just tiping on forums.

Yes for me also.
I have read this entire discussion and am reminded of the auto industry here in Detroit. If you don't listen to your customers you won't have any.

Unfortunately, this isn't the case with Xara and we all know it because even though the devs continue to ignore our requests for better vector tools, all and all Xara is still going to be the tool of choice for us because it is so much more pleasant to work with than any other vector app out there. The rendering engine alone is light years beyond anything out there. However I recently purchased Serif Draw Plus because it is so cheap for the full pro version if you get on their mailing list they will send you discounted ads and you can get the full Pro version for around $60 bucks. It has a few vector features that really kick butt with their brushes and also the ability to paint in vector not just strokes but fills which should have been in Xara ages ago. So Xara did not get that 60 bucks that I paid for Draw Plus although I would have gladly spent the same money on Xara for just that one feature even as a point upgrade.

Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
YES, but, having bought X3D and XWD only to find the XXP updates over time include the other two, I do feel like I have wasted my money. I would have preferred to keep the three separate with hot links between them like the picture editor and keep XXP lean and in the vector fast lane.

Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
I'm barely a beginner in Xara Xtreme. I bought Xara on the strength of the stunning work you guys have been able to produce. I am ashamed to say that I upgraded to Xara5 without question because I know how good Xara4 is/was. Only then to read all your expert opinions on what they have done with Xara5.
SO, YES to this PETITION.

Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
Yes! Add B-Spline tool! Like Creature House Expression's.

Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
Formula:
Number of Years using Xara (or Artworks) multiplied by wanting new vectortools (1-10):
Years: 17
Want new Vectortools: 10
My Score: 170
So, Yes (for whatever this thread is worth).
-
Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
My score comes out at 130

Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
I do not want any new vector tools. Lets keep the same ones forever.
-
Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
Yes
and
Xara can make use of PS plugins as this is a 'standard' - would it be possible to make use of the vector plugins which are aimed at 'Illy' ??
( seeing as John's paying close attention )

Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
I would love some new vector tools.
However this "petition" is almost pointless.
1. Just wishing for them doesn't make them so.
2. It is entirely possible that due to the limited number of people who visit the forum, that Xara can say "look out of the 150,000 (wild guess!) copies of Xara Xtreme 5 only 67 people want new vector tools. That's a really low percentage.
Xara know we would like new vector tools - unless they are deaf, dumb and blind, they've seen the same threads that we all have seen, but they obviously have other priorities to ensure that they make money and stay in business.
Personally, I'd rather they stay in business, and hope for more vector tools, than have them go under, and know that I'll never get anything else from them ....

People who take the time to write here may represent 1 on 1000, or 1 on 10 000 nobody knows.
It is not astronomically accurate but is still the best customer feedback tool a company could have.

Hear! Hear! I think they're doing a darn good job and will no doubt get a balance, given time to survive the recession ... though pleasing everybody would be a miracle too far :D

Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
YES YES: vector tools like nineblock.com, symmetry, vector grids. cost a fortune. for me illustrator proves the better drawing tool but I paste into xara for gradated transparencies, soft edged vector (quicker in X). But cannot paste or export them back into illustrator as AI or SVG, EPS, illy makes it raster.can we program a full clean export to illy in vector?
-
Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
export as pdf and then import the pdf into illustrator?
-
Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
kinetica good tip thanks, I`ll post to separate thread on this when I put some screen dumps together to show you the outcomes (in 2 days) . I need this all to print from a raw AI file in vector, no raster to start with, although the RIP will do that anyway, more later...
-
vectors ??? Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
( Vectors ???? what are vectors ? ;-)
Xara is a photo editor and website program!!! ;-) )
Of course I am rooting for/asking for new vector tools.
-
Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
I would never say no to more. But I will say that I am very grateful for the new spellchecker feature. I have thought we've needed to see that since I first purchased Xara. Thanks for such a great product.

Re: Petition For More Vector Tools for XX6 ... No Discussion Just Sign
I look into the future, and see this forum.
I see many complaints from people who want more webpage support and
less vector features, that is not why they bought XX5 when it came out.
Yes the ones stepping in now might have done so for the wegpage
capabilities, so next time vector features are supported, they will start complaining.
Maybe it would have been better to keep the programs seperate but inter-active/changeable, ;)

I'll complain even if there is new vector tools because I'll want even more! It will give me the taste for new ways of drawing. LOL
