Look Xara guys, this is the kind of new Vector tools we need in Xara:

I have been using Xara for years and I have started a small sign cutting...
Solved: Updating .NET made the problem go away!
JimR
Pretty annoying!
I just bought X6 on DVD and when I select the 64 bit version and hit next it just shows a white window with some of the EULA text and then hangs doing nothing.
Any ideas?
...
Please let File Export save the exported file in the same folder as the Xara file.
It has little meaning (for me at least) to save in the last folder I exported to as this always is somewhere else...
Thanks, you guys are brilliant! I never thought of so many ways of doing the same thing.

I often have trouble bending shapes with nice gradients, typically a tube on technical concept drawings
I'm using a workaround of adding lines on top of each other with gradually brighter colours...
I had the same issue yesterday and found that I had line width on my text. After selecting line width to 'none', the text was sharp again.

Ahh, that's it yes! I found another old workaround where you clone the line, change the colour to white and feather until it looks (sort of) right

Sorry if this is just too obvious - but:
How do I get gradient colours on a curve to make it look like a 3D cable. I am drawing a rounded curve with stroke 12

Yeah - but - it should import in the right size though, I still think it's a half-broken Xara feature.
Happy New Xara Year!

Thanks Steve, I am using Paint Shop Pro X2 for scanning and preparing ('blackening') my pencil drawings, then just copying the drawing directly from PSP and pasting into Xara.
I could save as PNG,...
Doesn't seem to work, pictures are always imported at 96 DPI (XD7 Pro and XD6 tested)
Sorry if this is old news but I'm trying to work in 1:1 pasting hand drawings and text into Xara and it's...
That's very interesting, I do have Win7-64 but I don't have that program!
I suspect this is caused by myself closing down all Win7 tablet functions to get my Wacom Intuos 3 working properly. This...
I'm doing some technical engineering calculations and assembling my memos in XD7 Pro. It's a combination of scanned hand drawings, calculations and text put into a nice memo template in XD7.
I'm...
I have reached the limit of 3 installations and I want to move my XD6 installation to my new work laptop.
Is it possible to de-register the license on the old machine and free one license or how...
How do I enter symbols like 'PI' or the degree symbol ° into Xara?
(I had to use Word and copy/paste)
I found the old symbols posts but do you have to use a list of alt-numbers to get symbols?...
I can't clone or duplicate shapes selected inside a group, that's a bit annoying working with groups of shapes making up different parts.

Here's a small video, Egg-style. How do I get an SWF video playing inside the post?
JimR
Yes but they make parametric lines and curves with precise measures and they can round corners and a lot of other nice things :cool:
I work with several industrial designers that has the same...
I found a workaround:
- Select the lines that makes up the closed shape
- CTRL 1 to add shapes (8 lines become 1 shape)
- BREAK SHAPES. Somehow this makes to identical (but closed) shapes
-...
I'm using Pro Engineer to make accurate outlines of product designs, then importing into Xara for gradients, graphics, shades etc.
The outline imports as lines and I'm looking for a faster way of...
When drawing it stays on the selected line width when I hit escape the first time but changes to 0.67 pix when I hit escape the second time.
JimR
XD6 defaults to 0.67 pix every time i hit escape when I'm drawing. Why is that and how do I set the default line width?
My template is set for 1 pix line width.
(and thank you for sketch mode,...
If someone likes to print out the tutorials (if that is the demand for the PDF) then it should be formatted to fit a Letter/A4 paper.
I use the tuts directly from the web but it takes some...
