How to save image-not bg

[lymanal]

New, and this has probably ben asked before.
MY image (a chessboard) is centered in the bg.
I want the board to be a certain size, but when I save, i'm saving a 650x330 image and most of it is bg, and my board is too small.
Can I move the image to top left corner and eliminate the bg?

Hi Al,
if you click on the Frame Button shown in the attachment you can drag the display frame to an appropriate size, causing the displayed image to resize. In addition, when exporting you can choose to export at the current Frame size, or Crop, which will crop off anything outside the bounding box of the objects in the image.

And welcome to the Xara3D forum.

hi lymanal,

you can also specify how big to make the frame. (window=> frame size...)
