Could not set Line color for this shape

[capellan]

Hi,

Take a look at this attached Xara archive.

Now select the flower shape and try to change
the line color.

In Xara 3.2, the line color does not change,
only could change the line width.

Please report results for your Xara version.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alejandro,

It is a strange problem.

I opened your file using Xtreme Pro 3.2.4, Xtreme Pro 4.0, Web Designer 5.0, Xtreme 5.1, and Xtreme Pro 5.1 and the outline colour does not change when I try to apply a new colour.

In all those programs I can correct the problem.

1. Select the shape using Selector Tool.
2. Switch to the Shape Editor Tool.
3. Marquee select all the point for the shape.
4. Use the smoothing slider and move the thumb to the far right (100%).

You can now change the outline colour.

Easier way to do that Bill Is to go onto the colour line at the bottom of the screen. Right click the colour that you want and then select "Select Line Colour" and it changes. This was done on XPro 5.1 as all the rest have been un-installed.

Did you actually try that Peter ..... It didn't work for me using that shape.

The only way I'm able to unlock the change of color was:

select the shape
press the 3D tool to convert it to a 3d shape
change the border color
press again the 3d button to eliminate the 3d effect
now you can change the color of the line as usual.
Best regards

It is odd. How was the shape produced originally?
However, here's the method I used in Xtreme version 3.2 to solve the problem.
