Re: Smart Ellipse to Circle Challenge
We have strayed far from the original post (I blame Gypsyjoe's Einstein reference).
It appears that most things in Xara with the word 'Smart' preceding it has problems. If any Xara staff have managed to get this far down, will the Smarts be addressed in any forthcoming updates?
I also seem to have a chest with many legs following me around.

So we can add 'Xara Smarts' to the compendium.
To refocus the original Post, Smart Shapes have their place but they need to be better integrated.
You cannot centre a Spiral to a node.
You cannot toggle between blue and black controls.
SmartShapes are not QuickShapes but they are conflated together under one Tool.
The Rotation Angle is not as accurate as the Angle of Selection.
One Resize point that can be anywhere.
Control Points that come and go.
I have reported, ad nauseam (probably to Xara support staff - "Not again!"), that Smart Shapes actually detract from the already established UI.
Still no SmartShape API.
