... basically, I wanted it so that the face wasn't flat and that the light didn't reflect across the whole face, but would have a highlight point on the curved (convex) surface...

Thanks, but that hasn't done what I wanted :(

I was hoping that the flat faces could be given a slight "bulge" so that they look a bit like the sides, but retaining a clear join where the face...

Sure. x3d file attached!

Hey folks,

I've got a little 3D logo (using a .xar file for the shapes) with a simple curved bevel on the extrusion. Is it possible to make the face slighly curved (a bit like the "blob" design) ?...

I have just had some successs by paste-special (Picture Enhanced Metafile) into Visio, then ungrouping, then copy again, and paste-special (EMF again) into PowerPoint. A couple of ungroups later and...

Hi folks,

I have a simple drawing in Xara Xtreme Pro (v4) - it's basically text and boxes (it's a form mockup). I would like to export this to PowerPoint 2007 so that the text / boxes / etc are...

Thanks for the replies. Webshots was way too complicated for what I needed, so I went ahead and wrote a little C# app. It does the job, so I'm happy.

Hi folks.

Happy New Year!

I am looking for a program that will update the Windows desktop background image (and maybe for the Mac...) via the internet. Every month or so (or whenever), a new...

I was looking at my web server statistics recently and discovered that the file "---.gif" was being requested but was not present on the server.

On closer inspection, the file xaramenu.js does...

I discovered the fix. It's all in the registry... All I did was to remove the "ddeexec" key beneath this key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\XaraX.Document\Shell\open

It had nothing to do with applying...

I think you mean hold ALT while pressing Print Screen...

Aside: I was expecting to see a graphic of two monitors with pistols when I read this topic...

I have searched the forums for an answer to this, but can't seem to find one...

Whenever I double-click a .xar file in Windows Explorer, Xtreme starts up and loads the file correctly, but Windows...

Good call... the export as TIF allows me to choose the output image size in pixels!

Thankx.

Visio 2003 does not have AI as an option in Save As. :(

Ah yes. It's only on X1 and above. Sorry about that ;)

Have you tried turning the solid drag feature off? - double-click the thingy-wotsit in the bottom right hand corner on the status bar (it's a blue circle with a little white mouse pointer over it).

Is it possible to import a file from Visio? I know the standard VSD file will not load (I have tried it!)... Is there an intermediate file format that Visio can save to that Xtreme will open?

What...

The USB-powered feature is definitely something worth its weight in gold - or should that be worth the weight it saves?!

I think I might pop down to PC World sometime over the weekend and see what...

Thanks for the help, all very useful.

How do they sell things that cheap?! (aside: I bought my parents a DVD player from Amazon for £20, and (so far) I can't fault it!)

Are there more portable...

Hey folks,

There are times when I want to quickly sketch something so that I can send an image file to someone for their review. When I say "sketch", I mean the traditional sense: pencil (or pen)...

I thought it might have been something to do with the "smooth" options either globally (in options) or for the bitmap itself, but it apears that this option only applies when a bitmap is scaled UP,...

When I do this, all that happens is the XPE opens with the image in it. Clicking the tick leaves me where I was - no image inserted into the document.

Once I have made edits to an image, yes, a new one appears in the Bitmap Gallery, however, the image is still at its original size. :(

You are right about the final export as JPG though - nice and...

Hey folks.

I have a typically large JPG from my digital camera. I drag it into Xtreme and double click it. in the XPE, I resize the image and click the tick to go back to Xtreme.

The image is...

Just to clarify things: gdiplus.dll is 1,706,800 bytes - that's 1.63 megabytes...
And if I am correct, I think that Microsoft suggest that gdiplus.dll is installed in the same place as the...
