    Default Convert to Editable Shapes - A Workaround

    You may have noticed there is no Edit > Convert to Editable Shape as there is in Xara.

    The follow method gets around this, at least for rectangles and ellipses.

    Right-Click on them and choose Combine Shapes > Add Shapes

    Then you can use the Shape Editor Tool.

    ==================================

    I haven't found a way to imitate the "Convert Line to Shape" function though.

    Good tip. Also works for text.

    I believe the keyboard shortcut works Shift Ctrl s. Oops! Nope. It does not.

    I am not sure why as there are many other Xtreme keyboard shortcuts that work.
