Hi, I'm not ony a new Xara user but I'm totally new to the whole computer graphics world. I have been messing about with Xara for a few days and been mostly getting really frustrated. I would like a few pointers towards some basic instruction and tutorial materials. I am not so much an artist but I want to create basic technical drawings of guitar designs (which may or may not be artistically enhanced.) I guess I could try something like AutoCAD but I fear that is too technically complex. However I do want to create properly dimensioned and scaled vector drawings (blueprints) to provide to clients to get their sign-off and I also want to be able to print them out so I can use them in the workshop to make templates. Is there an easy way to show dimensions on a drawing? Also, I only have a standard A3/A4 paper printer so knowing how to print a full sized (1:1 scale) drawing so it prints on to multiple pages that overlap would be good.
OK thats it in a nutshell. Appreciate any pointers to basic drawing stuff about creating accurately dimensioned line drawings, and how to print on multiple pages.
