I have been trying to copy text that I have created in Xara 3D and paste it to Xara Designer Pro with no luck. What am I doing wrong?
I seem to recall you cannot extract vector from xara3D, only save to PNG, GIF or WMF [I think] - been a long time since I used it
pasting from one program to another uses the MS clipboard which may not be reading the xara3D info correctly [or at all], or it may be that the xara3D effect is not actually supported in designer which might use a different extrusion methodology
I could be wrong...
what I am pretty sure of though is that xara3D is/was a specific tool for the specific job of creating banners etc for websites; and as such it was intended to be at the end of the graphic design chain, so you may be out of luck; hopefully not
if all else fails, can you create the text in designer using it's extrusion tool ?
If you have Designer Pro, a more recent version, you can use the Extrude Tool to do most of the same things you can do in Xara 3D.
You can copy & paste between Xara3D & Xara Designer. To do so, go Edit / SelectAll / Copy. Then Paste it into XD. However it will only be a transparent png.
thanks egg - I was pretty sure you could not copy paste vector... but I've not used the program since the heady days of spinning football logos :D
