Hello Lovely People,
I use Xara Designer Pro X 19.0.1.65946
I've noticed that when I try to flip an object, whether it's a bitmap, or a vector image created in a previous file, it will not flip. The object wants to rotate a few degrees along a central access, but not flip.
I have clicked, doubled clicked (where a complex object opens up the Edit Inside window, but still will not flip)
Please, someone tell me this is an easy fix. It began when I upgraded to my present version.
Thank you so much!
hi - first thng to check is you have lock aspect ratio enabled - it will not flip if you don't
You might be trying to flip in rotate/skew mode. What happens if you use the flip icons on the Infobar at the top of the screen?
in the interests of clarity the flip buttons[icons] on the infobar [in selector tool] are what I was referring to.... these do not work for a bitmap if aspect ratio is off, but seems they do for a vector so it might well be something more complicated...
Thank you, Handrawn! That fixed it. Didn't realize it was not locked. Now, if you can find a missing file from 2013...Quote:

I use File Locator [ aka agent ransack ] to look for files, I have around 700,000 in offline storage; have to have some inkling of the name, or in the case of text, content though ;)
I have adopted the habit of naming important files by yyyymmdd-subject.ext. These automatically sort in Windows Explorer.
If files are spread across devices or folders, I rely on Everything that instantly delivers against partial filenames. I have 2.5M files on local storage.
If really desperate, I use Notepad++'s Find in Files for content.
As I have different devices and operating systems as well, I rely on Dropbox.

a lot of files... Everything looks interesting; ransack will deliver on part file name too
Just kidding about that, guys. It's an MS Word file; probably floating somewhere on an old computer.Quote:

Save the solution LadyArwen. @acorn will have to pop this into nuggets. This gets me so many times.Quote:
