    Default Help/Bug(?): Brush color ignored when exporting to PDF

    I created a simple one color solid brush.
    When drawing a line and use a different brush color it looks OK in xara.
    When it's exported as a PDF the selected color is ignored and it switches back to it's original color.

    See the .xar document attached and export as a PDF.

    Same thing happens in earlier versions of Xtreme (with your file).

    Arrange>>Convert line to shape. Recolour.

    Exports to PDF fine.

    Yes that's what i started doing as a workaround. I'm working on a 40 page booklet with different brushes in various sections in the booklet. I need to convert them each individually and recolor them.. this takes forever..

    Yes version 5 acts differently. Although exporting your file to PDF from other versions gave the same result, creating the brush and shift-clicking to change the colour exported perfectly with version 4 and earlier.

    Shift-clicking to change the colour works (and exports) in version 5 when opening a file created in version 4. (attached)

    Smells like a bug after all.

    Think it is a risky method of using brushes when exporting to PDF without changing to shapes.
    Design is thinking made visual.
