Thanks very much everyone. I'm prepared to give it another try, but at the moment it's more of an irritation than a help.
Knowing I can switch it off is great, so kudos to handrawn for that. =D>

I've recently upgraded to Xara Designer Pro X10 from version 5.
Is there any way to switch off 'Edit Inside'? I much preferred the older way of doing things - just double clicking on the shape tool.

Hi there,

I've just upgraded to Designer Pro X10.
I have a Trust Flex pen and tablet. (Old, I know!) I can draw lines, shapes etc. and use the line gallery, but the only line that doesn't work...

Fantastic! I renamed both the Xara files (just added xxx to each) and the interface was light when I restarted. The left hand tool bar icons were tiny but I corrected this by going to window/control...

That's great, thanks for all those suggestions!
Before I try could you just explain how the renaming of 'xaradark.cjstyles' works? What would I have to do for that?
Thanks! :D

Hi there,

I've just reformatted my PC and reinstalled Xara Pro 6. I used to have it set for the light background as it's easier for my eyes. I can't remember how I did this, I know someone helped...

Thanks so much for your help everyone, I've finally figured it out! :)

For this to to the to happen:
Make a shape with no fill and give it a line width - I used a stroke width of 2.
Go to the...

Hi there, thanks for your thoughts. The two vector outlines are not big... contained within a 131px square which IS visible. It's weird, I can't work on them in outline at all.
If I copy everything...

Hi there, everyone,
I can't understand what's happened. Usually when I view anything in outline all the outlines are there. But now I have two solid shapes with no stroke and they aren't visible in...

Hi there, I've been trying for a white to import an .eps file into Designer Pro 6. It's from .ai CS4. I can import the native .ai file, but not the .eps.
All I seem to end up with is a blank page....

Fabulous, I've managed to do it. I used sledger's method. Tile the page with bitmap/background. Then just drag with CTLRL another bitmap onto the pasteboard.
Thanks for the help everyone!! =D>

Thanks guys, these all look promising.

Skydrive gives 25GB of space which is massive. I also came across Dropbox which gives 2GB for free (enough for me) and looks to be very versatile. The .xar...

On my website I can tile the page no problems.
I can also tile the pasteboard (the complete screen background). :)
But, tiling the pasteboard background takes it right across the page. :eek:

Is...

Thanks sledger, that looks useful. I'll check into it.

Hi Gary, how can I PM a design? My name says 'no PMs'. Have I clicked something wrong somewhere?
Amaliss

Thanks Gary!

I'd better clarify what I'm meaning.
I take a flv move and drag and drop it onto the Xara page. After a while a movie player surround (placeholder?) appears which is light grey. When...

ooops, :eek: I think I put this post in the wrong place. It should be in the web designer area. Sorry.

Hi sledger, thanks!
I've been thinking about this. I wouldn't know how to synchronise, so we might just have to email the .xar changes to each other.
The programmes can read each others files?
I...

Hi there, I have embedded a flv video on my website and it appears in a grey player. Is there any way to change the player's colour?

Hi there,

I am making a website for a friend using Designer Pro 6. My friend is a complete novice and has no suitable software as yet.

If I make the website and set up hosting etc. can I then...

Thank you, thank you! I'm so pleased to get back to the lighter grey, I found the dark made it very difficult to see the small sliders on the colours and design gallery etc.
I've got used to the fly...

Hi jclements,

Thank you! I would never have guessed to look for repeating objects - 'duplicating' perhaps. This all works! :D

Cheers,

Hi there,

I'm playing around with the trial version of DPro6. I already have extreme 5.
I've opened a complete website. Great!
Ok, so ...
I've checked the - make all pages in the document the...

That's great! Thanks for your help everyone. I'll go and try these out.
:D:D

How do I align shapes around a circle?
I have a series of small circles I wish to space evenly around a semicircle and circle. Does anyone know if this is possible?
Thank you, :)
