Hi Folks
My copy of Xara Photo & Graphic Designer + (currently Jan 17th 2024) has decided in recent months that my default font for all new documents is Open Sans, which I don't have installed....
All I can see in Xara is "none" as line transparency type (this is of course different from "no transparency" at least superficially). The clue was the source program which had a special setting for...
OK
Solved my own problem! It often happens I find when you try to explain something clearly to a third party.
The issue was that the lines in question used a transparency to allow a slightly...
Hi
Weird one here - I often use Xara (Photo and Graph Designer + current version) to tweak the vector PDF output files from a Orienteering course planing program. When I went to do this recently I...
Acorn
Yes - that looks very useful - hadn't come across that feature in PP before. Definitely will have a go at this - many thanks.
BTW that is a very impressive pub crawl - but I think I will...
Yes - I could just export high quality images of each "frame" and make them a PP slide each. Lots of extra slides to manage but I might do this if I have the time.
Thanks again

Thanks - that looks very interesting. Unfortunately my end product needs to be a PP slide dominated with a large bitmap (relief map) with a simple line animation. The gif export is fast,...
Hi
I have used Xara for many, many years, but I have never had any cause to use the animation features. Now I am trying to produce a simple animation for a presentation, where a line travels along...
Thanks, Acorn - very useful - I had missed that.
There is nothing of interest for me in Designer Pro+ except page/column breaks and page numbering. Hardly what I would call "professional" grade...
Hi
Can I just confirm that while Xara Photo & Graphic Designer+ has full multi-page functionality along with multicolumn text flow, that simple DTP features such as text breaks and page numbering...
Sorry John
Slip of the fingers - I meant to type "Xara Photo & Graphic Designer+" of course.
Charlie
Yes - I got that to work thanks (once I realised that you can't drag new buttons onto the info bar).

Hadn't looked at that setting before. It does add "Web Link" to the end of the right-click menu. I don't really think of a PDF with an embedded URL as a "Web Document" - but it sort of makes sense.

Hi
I recently switched from many years of using the full Xara package to "Web and Photo Designer" only. Generally very happy and wondering why I didn't do this years ago (since I have long since...
Yes - the Maperative export is clipped by the bounding rectangle rather than cropped for some reason. The first thing I do is Xara is to extract the frame rectangle from a group and move it to the...
If you want to see one of those complex SVG have a look at the attachment. This was produced by Maperative (http://maperitive.net/) a very useful (but unsupported) ageing tool which allows you to...
Hi
I import a lot of OpenStreetMap derived material via SVG. The data is grouped and hierarchical - for example, line features are then broken down into railway, highway trunk, highway secondary,...
OK - looks like I am out on a limb here re interest in Page and Layout Designer. Let me see if I can explain.
The Xara Products "Designer" page offers 4 products:
1) Photo and Graphic
2) Page...
Hi
I have been waiting patiently for Xara to release Page & Layout Designer 365 so I can upgrade to the latest goodies.
I currently use Designer Pro X11, but as all my web work has moved to...
