Not very artistic looking but hopefully correct! :)

Thank you for the heads up, Mark. This is awesome. Just did my pre-Christmas splurge ($1) ;)
Happy Holidays, everyone!

And thank you, Gary....your suggestion is even faster for what I need to do. There is so much to learn about XARA! I'm very grateful to the members of this community so generous with their knowledge.

Ah, thank you so much. Didn't know about break/delete points with shape tool. Perfect!

I would like to create a shape that is the bottom half of a rounded rectangle (like an empty container). I used the combine shapes/slice action but when the two parts are separated there is a line...

I use a small but powerful utility called 'Everything' https://www.voidtools.com/ (there is a portable version too) that finds files in my computer....it's a little gem. After starting Everything,...

27?

@Egg and @Gary: thank you both for your reply.

Thanks. I'm talking about the box on the right (see picture, please): maintain or minimise?

Yes, that's the problem Gary. You saved me again. When I export, I open the Bitmap Size tab to select what to export. Do I also have to modify the DPI value (96 by default)? And what should be...

When exporting images to png, are there special settings or tricks to avoid the tiny, segmented white border that is visible when the image is placed on a colored background? I think I read something...

Thank you for this additional tip. There is so much to learn and your Workbooks are great!

@gwpriester Another great solution. Thank you!

One more question...what's the best way to draw a cube or cuboid with a 3D-look similar to the green cylinder in my previous post? I'd prefer not to use the extrusion tool. Thanks!

@wizard509 You are absolutely right. I've been trying different things and Gary's solution is the easiest and the one that gives me more control. Thank you all, again.

Very clever!

@Acorn
I 'can' ;) You used the blend function, right?

@Gary
Wow....interesting texture

It did help me! Thank you.

Thank you. This helps me. I appreciate it. You are an awesome group, very generous with your time and knowledge.

Ah! That's quick enough! Thanks. It doesn't have the 3-D realistic type look I need. How do I add it?

3D function: is it the extrude tool? Once I create the cylinder,how do I adjust the shape? For example, make the top ellipse thinner.
I just tried the blend option. Once you blend two ellipses, how...

More like B. See the attached image, please. Something similar but with a 3D more realistic look. Thanks.

Hi. What is the best/fastest way to draw a 3D cylinder in Xara Designer? Thanks for your help

Well, at least we are still here....Long Live the Challenge!;)

Thank you, Albacore, for link, examples, and directions. Very helpful.

@Big Frank...the video I watched is another nice tutorial from Egg Bramhill
