Not sure if this has changed in the meantime, but for me the "Show Rotation Center" button had to be pressed, instead of the "Selection Bounds Handles" button (which I don't seem to even have), in...

OK so I just bought the all new HiDPI version of Xara Designer Pro after sadly having had to wait for HiDPI support for many years, and almost dropping Designer over it.

Only to find...

I can't believe that it seems to be necessary to tutor the manufacturer on this on an internet forum, because they obviously don't know how to fix this -- meanwhile ridiculous -- issue.

Windows 10...

Again 1 year later, and still no HiDPI support.

How ridiculous, embarrassing and cringeworthy.

Meanwhile, and after all these years, we are at a point where Xara, as a supposedly professional...

Hi all,

for a simple rectangular bitmap on the page, can I edit the rectangular shape without distorting the bitmap?

Particularly, can I drag the four corners of the bounding rectangle to a...

Hi all, now that I have successfully managed to switch Smart Transform off, I can't seem to switch it on again.

I have checked both "Aspect Ratio" and "Smart Transform", but the Smart Transform...

Two years and FOUR program versions later (v.11 -> v.15), and still no HiDPI support, not even in Designer Pro X. Talk about a "professional" program :(

Ah, I see, thank you

This doesn't work here. Not even with groups of bitmaps (where the new behavior becomes REALLY irritating, and useless).

I have no words to describe how incredibly stupid this change is. Particularly the fact that there is not even a way to override the new behavior with a modifier key (preferably, the ALT key).

It took me a while to figure out what this poll is actually about, because I had not come across that new "feature" (or rather, the removal of a feature that every vector graphics program in the...

OK, thank you.

Hmm, and why is that so?

Thanks Acorn, will try that!

OK thanks Acorn,

so in order to edit the Mask layer, I still have to use the Pages & Layers Gallery, correct? Or is there an even easier way to edit the Mask layer?

Thanks -- it seems that this is still the official "way" to go:

Every single time I try and use a rectangular mask I instantly get stuck with the same problem.

How can I adjust the rectangular mask's size by dragging a corner (or a side) of the mask?

There should be a Like or Karma button in the forum :)

Yay!

This starts to move into realms of art =D>

Or one mouse click ;)

Thanks @all

OK here comes the ultimate legit way how to quickly copy a rectangular selection from a bitmap.

- Use the Rectangular Region Tool (the dashed rectangle in the second tool row)
- Draw your...

No, because there still is no sane way do do it :rolleyes:

But thanks for the "Duh" reply... #-o

Pardon? If you create a bitmap copy of the clipped copy, you have two times the cutout but the original bitmap is still dissected :rolleyes:

Pardon?

The question is not about "stretching, resizing, rotating, rounding corners" but about copying a rectangular piece from a bitmap, with about two clicks.

Btw. how weird is it that the...

While this is indeed another possible würgaround that works, it is even more counter-intuitive than the previous approaches.

I.e: in order to create and copy a rectangular selection of an existing...
