Yes please! I would LUV to see a dash pattern editor.

BUT I also wish Xara would finally get round to fixing the 'dash pattern bug' which is STILL present in Designer Pro 6. (Slick new interface...

I have the latest Pro version, and I would very much like to export posters in PDF/X format. However I find that even single pages often cannot be exported in this format. They fail with an 'out of...

Some of the page sizes built into Xara Xtreme don't quite match the standard ISO A Series values. e.g.

A0 is 841 x 1189mm (XX 840 x 1188mm)
A1 is 594 x 841 (XX 594 x 840mm)

only tiny...

Choose 'distribute equi-spaced' (instead of 'distribute centres'). I think this gives the result you're after.
OOps, sorry ignore my suggestion. I had 'Scale line widths' selected, in which case...

Thanks for the various suggestions. I've managed to produce a PDF of the original file by printing to file as mg suggested (using Jaws PDF). I've also produced a reduced size of PDF from Xara using...

Thanks Albacore. Yes, it works fine with an A0 page size.

So it's the large custom page size that's the problem.

No joy with Clipview.

No joy with Create Bitmap Copy.

I still end up with a blank PDF.:(

Many thanks for your suggestion. I've had to try another approach because I only want the feather effect to be visible on the inside edge.

I've moved the coloured block inside the page area,...

I've been tearing my hair out with frustration trying to produce a PDF of a large banner for our printer. I keep getting 'Access violation exception at offset 0x0201CF15' when trying to use the...

I mentioned a problem with the Dash Pattern menu in a previous post where in certain circumstances two options are highlighted simultaneously.

This bug is still present in the latest version of...

This bug is still present in the trial version of Xara Xtreme Pro 4.

Many thanks Raynerj1 and Egg for your suggestions. This was exactly what I was looking for. :)

Egg's method is a little bit more fiddly, but unlike the three line method it does work successfully...

1. I'm using Xtreme Pro 3.2.3. I think I may have found a bug when selecting a particular dash pattern in the Line gallery. If you select the second dash pattern (the first is a solid line) it also...

The text has to start somewhere, but you don't want that happening at the bottom of your curve as at present.

So flip the curve vertically and reposition it by nudging with the up cursor key. Then...

Gary,

Really impressive.... but I too would be very grateful for a bit more info on how you did it. :confused:

Wolfmoon and Pauland - very many thanks - just what I was after. :)

Is it possible to combine this with a new brush design?

Is there an easy way to create a regular (sinusoidal) wavy line in Xara?

(... as described in http://www.seqair.com/WildTools/Wavy/Wavy.html)

Charles,

Yes, the Acorn Draw format allows square, butt and round line endings, but it is also possible to have say square and round caps at opposite ends of the SAME line. When Draw files are...

Is it possible to select different line caps on the same line in Xara X1 ?

I've been able to import Acorn Draw files with different line caps and they appear correctly, so Xara is capable of...
