V8 is ready! The new versions are called Photo & Graphic Designer MX and Designer Pro X. Pro has all the new web features from Web Designer Premium MX, but other additional highlights include a new Color Select & Erase tool, and the Shape Eraser and (in Pro only) Shape Builder tools - but discover all for yourselves right now @ http://www.xara.com/products/designer/whatsnew/ and, coming soon, Gary Priester’s ‘First Look’ on the Xara Xone.
Thanks Kate
Great release! Feel like we've been here before with the 'X' version...

Thanks Rich. Deja vu on the name is a free bonus feature!
Hello Kate--I think despite my previous grumblings about slow addition of vector tools and or enhancements, I am pretty pleased with what y'all have done with this update.
I'll be counting my pennies and upgrade as soon as possible. A thank you to yourself, Charles and company.
Take care, Mike
shape builder tool and shape eraser tool eh ? well I'll be @"* :D:D
who says you don't listen, thanks :-bd
I unlocked the trial, but as far as I can tell there is no PDF manual included.
Is there an online link to it somewhere?
I really don't want to wait until the cds start shipping before having access to the new manual. (eta is second half of June - according to the Xara website)
:) Looking forward to Designer Pro X1 this time next year.Quote:

looks like the paste problem when using 'make all layers editable' button has been sorted
svg import too a nice 'extra'
Woohoo!
As Mike says the inclusion of new vector tools is great to see. I still see & use Xara as firstly a vector program and it is a very pleasing to see the addition of new tools.
