As a graphic artist I find myself needing to create textures or pattern time and time again.

A repeating function would be very useful.

When it comes to making repeating pattern in vector....

The program rocks, once you learn it. And its a joy to learn and to use.

However its probably based on Nurbs curves instead of splines which comes from 3d technology.

You have everything at...

I often want to have a shadow that is from a backlight.

Would be really useful.

In Xara you can with pressure sensitive tablet draw a line with varialbe stroke width. And variable transparency.

But there is no way to later alter the width or transparancy of the stroke.

So...

Hi Xara, if you have an image with a lot of lines on it, and you want to keep the lines, for example lines of text but move the text closer.

I tried to use content aware scaling.

However, it...

I agree that the names of the modes are industry standard today, and Xara is one of the few not using the standard names, making it more confusing for most people to switch to Xara. (more to learn...

Rendering diffusion curves? ;)
Didn't cuda come out because it would optimize vector gfx in games in first place?

Yup I would love those too and did consider all of them for my list excepts Lines under/over.

As for diffusion curves have you tried any of the 2 free editors?
I find the concept really cool but...

Inset/outset will make the object shrink/expand, but not scale it. Its allmost like creating a outline/inline that adds or removes from the object.
Many times useful for many operations. It will...

My 5 most useful wanted tools/functions.

A Fillet / Scallop / Chamfer tool, to chamfer/scallop selected points or objects.
Useful on as good as every project....

I found that you dont even have to move from a control point to another control point :O Just from one line to another.
Thats very useful! Its sort of an ereaser but just that you cannot just erase...

Hi, testing the new Xara Photo & graphic Designer and I made a 3d extrude to an object, now I want another objekt to be extruded in the same perspective. I copy the first object and then try to paste...

www.sumopaint.com has some nice features that work better than photoshop their gradients for example. As long as you dont go very highres its also fast enough.

If XARA X6 removes some features from X5 like the Webdesigner features, which I use to create quick webmockups and design mockups.

It has to add more nice stuff to x6 to compensate for the loss of...

Thanks, though the rectangle was mostly to illustrate.

In the realworld example I had made a pencil, that I rotated. Then later I wanted to change the lenght of the pencil.

Yes that is what I mean.

In other word be able to rotate the scale gizmo so that it scales in the same direction as the object without skewing it.

When you rotate an object I often want to be able to scale it along the rotation of the object so that it does not get skewed.

Right now I have to select nodes and eyeball the scaling.


You...

Did you know that you can create guides from any object or line on the guides layer?

Is it possible to copy a gradient and apply it to other objects?

What a completly incompetent review...
