Ermmm... Did I miss anything? I'm used to flip objects by dragging central handles with Ctrl (aspect ratio maintained) or Shift+Ctrl (then the object is flipped "in place"), I almost never use the flip buttons on the toolbar.

Still works for me Morris. Designer Pro X-16. And I just learned something new. I have used Xara since 1996 and never knew about the Ctrl Shift flip in place trick.
And it works with and without Smart Transform.
I too use CTRL drag to FLIP and RESIZE in one motion. Rarely do I use the FLIP buttons ... I have to specifically think about them, and that's normally only when cloning and mirroring.
I think this is because it is a very old behavior before it was "improved" :)
Rob this just has to be 'the corporate line' right.. you cannot really believe it yourself ? not maintaining aspect ratio makes no sense ? :-O
What that says is if you go on a holiday it makes no sense to go your own way when you get there rather than stick only with the tour operator's scheduled tours :eek:
very true :(Quote:

Unfortunately some of them appear to be older methods that people forget about and it takes someone to remind everybody about a feature.

what about dragging down a clone to make a shadow below ?
