To make sure, I just downloaded "Xareg25.exe", however as feared it doesn't seem to permit any way of changing the grid colour (which by default is a dark blue).
If using the (rather terrifying)...
Is there still no official way to change the colour of the Xara Designer Pro (v20) grid?
Assuming not, from where may I download the Soquila / (Soquili?) free utility?
Yes, quite clever... !
However you end up with 2 lines - one doing the outer (convex) corners and the other doing the inner (concave) corners.
Also quite a lot of steps.
What I end up doing...
TBH, I only half-understand that....
Either way one problem I have is the Eraser Tool diameter units always seem to be pixels not page units.
The other problem is that biting off a corner using...
Apologies what I meant was the creation of what engineers call a "fillet".
i.e. Where you have a sharp corner where 2 straight lines meet and you want to round it with a simple curve that has...
Hello
Has anyone here upgraded from Xara Designer Pro X v19 to v20 (perpetual)?
I have always rather loved XDP, however I only use it occasionally and almost never use it professionally, so A)...
Talking of bugs... so I installed Pro+ (on a strictly temporary basis!) and now I just got a new "internal error" message when I saved and closed a .xar file.

Typical! The problem that I was having was that when I exported a PDF from a .XAR document, Xara was failing to add a URL. However having (amongst other things), rebooted my PC, XDP v19 is now...
Whut? Are we seriously saying that Xara has provided no way of testing the new one-time purchase version??
OR have Xara finally seen the light and there is now a one-time purchase mechanism for...
Hello
Can anyone tell me where I can download a free trial of the new Xara Designer Pro v20 from?
All I can find is the time-bombed licensing version (Xara Designer Pro+), however to the best...
Yes, the subscription model may suit regular users, and the accountants of software developers love it (!), but as I have explained it does not suit irregular users.
In truth the subscription...
Correct. There is indeed no point in buying two version of the same thing at the same time.
What we are discussing here is financing.

That's outrageous. Xara are clearly trying to phase out perpetual licences if the are deliberately making the perpetual...

Hello
What is the hotkey to move to the next open document?
Nothing seems to be documented here:

I am using:
"Xara Designer Pro X 19.0.0.63929 DL x64 Mar 3 2022"
Ah-ha - I have found the culprit!
I had scaling set at: "1cm" to "10cm".
I have changed it from "1mm" to "10mm"
And it now...
Hello
How can I get Xara Designer Pro to always show "mm" and never in "cm"?

I have executed: Right-click on empty space ==> Page Options ==> Units ==> Page Units ==>...
Aaaaaaaah... That was about the only thing that I never tried!
Work now.
So, out of interest, where can I find that documented...?
Sorry I don't understand.
What do you mean by "NumPad"?
On my [Logitech K850] keyboard, I have a key called "num" which toggles on/off the righthand number keys to act as numbers. Are you...
Hello
Is there a keyboard shortcut to toggle the (red dotted line) 'Guides' being visible/not visible?
I looked but could find anything.
J
Well the Shape Painter is certainly an interesting approach. And it does more or less do the job!
However my slight problems are:

I have tried Affinity Designer several times in the past.
Maybe it's because I'm too used to Xara or maybe it's just my brain, but I find its learning curve to be brutal.
And after every time I...
Clever stuff... but to get clear I need the edges of the lines to stay parallel to each other.
i.e. The line needs to be of constant thickness.
J
Hmmm... It appears that what the Freehand tool really does is stores a very large numbers of points, irrespective of whatever the Smoothing is set to, but it then renders your line in accordance to...
Hello
Is there a clever way in Xara Designer Pro X (v19) to create lines that are slightly wobbly?
I need to create a series of lines that look hand-drawn... I need them to look randomly...
