The way I have been creating new pages is to right click on a page in the Page Gallery and create a duplicate. This creates a new navbar --...

Thanks once again Jonathan

So your statement 'Adding pages in the middle is ok' is good news and points to an error on my part

I'll do some digging based on what you have said now I know that...

Cool thanks Jonathan

Well thats pretty much what I am doing TBH (page gallery, naming pages etc)

So consider this (which I have now) --- FYI its at http://www.ezfatigue.com/temp/Report-02.htm...

Ok so after mucho frustration and rework I have surmised the following…

The Navbar Properties dialog/Treeview (where you link your buttons to pages) is directly linked to the Xara document page...

Thanx

Looks like I should have gone for the Pro ...

TBH The difference looked like 'print stuff' to my untrained eye (CMYK export, the stuff that pro graphic designers need) ... I didn't spot...

COOL

So this 'nudge' method would let you create your array very quickly...(Much better than my method methinks)

I did the 'snap' thing above to create my array then pasted and scaled a Space...

Aha

Thanks

I knew there had to be more than just the CMYK export for the extra £100 ;))

I feel cheap now

Thanks for the reply covoxer..

Yes I guess it's simple to create copies of copies in a geometric progression

BTW if anyone else needs this... I have found that you need to 'play' with the snap tollerance to get...

Hi Phil (cross post)

Thanks .... just got it in the help :o

Ok the array thing

Imagine you want a 100 x 100 grid .... you wouldn't want to do that with a manual drag/snap...

Hi guys....

I would like to pick your brains if poss? (Xara newbie)

I would like to create a simple 'Space Invader' figure --I.E ... ...

Great stuff guys.... I've been having a little play with this also
