Hello
That I suppose makes some sense, I thought I had a video driver problem.

Hello
I don't see a paint brush icon, only the original pencil icon. Actually I only see 4 icons on the flyout
So the erase tool cannot add to an object using all the sizing,shaping and softening...
Hello
Thanks for your replies
So the shape builder tool (1st on the flyout) is the original line tool that allows you to extend an object, once you have converted to editable shapes, but now...
Hello
I have just been trying out the new 2013 Xara and cannot make the eraser or shape builder add to a shape, it seems to be stuck in delete mode.

Hello
Thanks for the reply and efforts to help, but in all honesty I cannot see the point.
I might as well remake the job in Photoshop. If this had worked I would have upgraded to
Xara 5,now I...
Hello
Thanks for the reply.
I will try your suggestion, I assume that it will hold the positions of the images?
It really must be a bug. I know that Photoshop has it's own swap space, but Xara...
Hello
Thanks for the reply.
It is because of Xara's speed I chose to make the montage in Xara rather than in Photoshop. I still want to export to Photoshop layers to adjust the images. Xara's...
Hello
I have had problems with both Xara 4.01 and the tryout of Xara 5 with exporting a large montage. Xara 5 does best at exporting 28 layers of images in a montage A1 size,as a Photoshop PSD...
Hello
Thanks for the reply.
I was only importing Tiffs and Jpegs and initially everything worked without the merge/insert
message. The behaviour changed after the crashes. I was using the import...
Hello
I have a curious problem with Xara Extreme 4.01.
I am making a montage, by importing images, sizing and positioning them.
After a few crashes due to lack of memory (2GB computer, document...
Hello
Thanks for all the suggestions. I did have a fiddle and managed to make a template that is like my old one.

Hello
Thanks for the reply. I had an inkling that the colour gallery had something to do with it and was just about to have a look, but decided to see if I had a reply. What I cannot understand is...
Hello
I used to use a custom template that loaded a custom palette for use in Xara.
I have had to reinstall Xara Extreme4 and find that this template loads just a basic palette.
I remade the...
Hello
Is there a way for the text to be repelled evenly around an object.
What ever I do, there is always a larger gap top and bottom of an object compared to the sides. This happens even if the...
Hello
Would these be any use as ribbons?
Mike Engles
Hello
Perhaps I am not doing the right thing, but I cannot see the effect. I have made a 6cm square and cut it with a 5 cm circle, see .xar file. I have drawn tangents to the circle at the nodes...
Hello
Mediaplayer 10 will open Flash files as will Quicktime.

Hello
I guess so because the 're' of picture is to long. The other lines look OK, but that might be coincidence.
You could possibly use the kerning tools to achieve the effect.
Mike Engles
Hello
It does not happen in X1,but certainly in X2.
Not much comfort to you!
I remade the long image and there was no problem in slicing it in X2. I made it the same size, but not the same...
Hello
Have a look at this file. I converted to shapes a couple of times. This makes a new shadow. it forms a whole group, try ungrouping!
Some people might pay a lot of money for such an effect....
Hello
A Tonga is a mode of transport.
It is a horse drawn cart with two wheels.
Pretty similar to what is called Dog Cart in Victorian Britain.

Hello
Why not scroll the drawing left or right to bring the wanted area into view. You can use the mouse wheel and the SHIFT key for X Axis scrolling and the CTRL key for zooming . You can also...
Hello
In the new Extreme, it seems to add a white border to a photograph, but not when used in XPE. I don't have this problem with other plugins.

Hello
"The merge function works as it should (see top pic), and is perfect with a photograph. The default intensity for the bump map is such that the greyscale bump map can be seen, but when...
