can a .xar be changed to .svg??

**handrawn** · 21 October 2007, 08:59 PM

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
Paul

)

Can do, but its bed time here - will do in morning if no-one beats me to it - its a bit more work than the last one

Thank you Steve, Greatly appreciated!
Alright, now go get some sleep and I'll see you back here round..... "04:00 hours"

I'm gonna give it a go on this end too... I really need to learn these sort of things...

Why not just download Inkscape and recreate the file for yourself?
It's not a complex drawing and probably a good start to learning InkScaping?

**geminiguy** · 21 October 2007, 10:26 PM

Ah... I have InkScape.... I really don't like it much. Well, not as much as Xara. I got frustrated after 2 hours of trying to figure out how to change the color of the footprint jpeg I imported so I could use it....
As I said, Im still new to pc graphics This was just because another person on the project wants an svg source of the work and I tried to do it in IS but was getting angry about the color thing....
Im still practicing with IS but, I'd like to know how to just convert files to be able to have the same exact work (and not have to redo it each time in two seperate programs) cuz "thats" annoying And this individual completely refuses to use Xara, which would actually make all of this easier, If he would just download Xara LX, take my .xar file, and convert it himself....
