    Default can a .xar be changed to .svg??

    Does anyone here know how to convert a .xar file from Xara LX to an .svg file which can be used in InkScape?? Can this even be done?
    I have a project .xar file I need to get to another member of the project who refuses to use Xara LX

    Thanks

    Thanks Sledger
    Wow, I can't seem to find any way to convert the .xar files from LX into anything other than PNG / JPEG / or GIF??
    Actually, I just sent the .xar source to him and he's gonna try to figure out how to convert it....
    It's tough cuz I'm not very familiar with InkScape and dont feel very comfortable working with it

    ..oh, I wasn't aware that the Linux version couldn't export in anything other than as raster. What a great pity..

    all yours Paul - in theory its the same - ie 0040ff at 7.5% opacity [or 92.5% transparency as xara has it] - no absolute guarantee as transparency conversion is tricky - have to zip svg
    let me know if its ok

    Ahhh??!! Yes, it worked Steve-o... thank you. (I sent you the wrong file though

    But I am gonna give it a go on my own first, and if (when) I screw it up, I'll summon the God of Conversion once again

    Thank you very, very much
