look at this from the point of view of freehand drawing - THAT IS IS AN UNDO TOOL not an eraser :rolleyes:

Eraser tool is useful to me too, to speed up the process.
I think we are all trying to improve our beloved prog here.
It's up to Xara team what to implement first etc.
I guess I never thought of Xara as much as drawing as painting.
If you wanted something done a specific way, you would be able to paint over the spot you wanted to change.
This made me think there's no need for an eraser when you're painting.
Plus the ability to slice parts of objects means you can "erase" anything you need, right?
there is when you are doing watercolor - its called a sponge ;)
speed is the thing here - having to make dozens of small corrections in the boolean way is really tiresome.... :D
I agree an eraser would speed up our work dramatically.
Erasing and adding to objects
I think Xara should lets us to have a "virtual" eraser to our drawing, letting us to remove portions of selected object on an individual layer or across multiple layers.
The flipside of erasing is "adding to" (i.e., augmenting), a technique to add or "grow" a vector objects' boundaries—great for reshaping an existing object or to grow a vector shape from scratch. This may be especially useful when creating an unusual filled shape.

With the new pressure sensitivity and free hand tool improvements a real eraser tool would be a perfect match. When you draw with a pencil on paper you can turn the pencil upside down and use the eraser. A tablet pen can do the same thing if the feature exists.
here is some more on this
An eraser would make life easier for sure. +1 vote..
Actually, is there any way on these boards that we can rank the suggestions in Dear Xara in terms of how desperately they're wanted?
A kind of top 10 most wanted features.
It could help Xara to prioritise what they develop.
