    Default copy & paste from Xtreme to Xara3D6

    I am trying to copy and paste a simple eclipse (200 pix X 200pix) from Xtreme to 3D6, but the eclipse is showing up as a oval shape instead of round eclipse in 3D6. I can't figure out why I am having this problem; it's so simple and I've done it many times before with any problem.

    Any ideas?

    edit: I saved the the eclipse as a .xar file and then tried importing it into 3D6 and ended up with the same problem.

    looks ok to me - have you got the design menu option set to text?

    It copies and pastes just as I would have expected. Is there a chance that your screen resolution has been altered? It happened to me when I was drawing circles in Xara Xtreme with the Ctrl key pressed to constrain the shape, but it looked like an oval on the monitor. Try different screen resolution settings, it worked for me.

    Click on the object in X3D and press "home", just to check that you are actually viewing it full on. X3D opens as a default at an angle.
