Taming and Grooming Xara Designer, setting up Xara just how you like it
Being fairly insomniac, I decided to head back over to the Xone to see if there was anything I'd missed. Well, bloody hell, there was - has anybody seen the Tips and Tricks section? It's full of stuff I have never seen yet I guess it's always been in the Xone. Much of it is stuff I know anyway, but I would have known it a LOT sooner, had I bothered to look. More fool me, I'm kind of regretting spending the last ten years just looking at Gary P's tutorials and never really venturing any further than that (I suspect partly due to professional arrogance).
Be honest, how many of you knew you could create a Double Ended Arrow?????? I, for one, never knew Xara could do that! I'm thinking of the flowcharts I've created over the years where I've drawn them by hand - what a klutz!! :banghead:
And I found this unsung gem, a section that Gary B has clearly added, and for beginners and seasoned Xartists alike, it's dead useful:

So, for those people who, like me, are blind (apologies to people who really are blind and not just visually unfocussed like me), head over to the Xone and

Yes there is lots of stuff there that is wonderfully useful. I"ve learned a lot over the years from pouring through the Xara Xone.

Hey, I thought there's a lot of new stuff, beyond the new design of the Xone. But then again, I'm DUI (Drawing Under Influence).
Go HERE for a cheat sheet as to what's new, and will continue to be expanded upon, revised, and opened by pushing down and twisting.

I'm glad you started this thread and that you finally found this stuff. I combed the new Xone from top to bottom Gare first launched it, and, yes I could. and, have created a Double arrow head arrow before.
Not that I'm arrogant because I'm not, in fact just the opposite. I think Gare did a good job givine the Xone a face lift, and I like it.
3 cheers for you Gare, and all who put so much into it. =D>=D>=D>

I wanted to try to make sure people don't get bored in the other 29 days of the month after watching the monthly tutorial!
Who knows? I might even jump the gun and post new content in-between months.
You never know.
That's what keeps people coming back to stores and supermarkets. :)
